India’s top-ranked tennis player Sumit Nagal on Monday fought back from the brink to defeat Slovakia’s Lucas Klein in the opening round of the ATP 250 Kitzbuhel Open in Austria.

The Paris Olympics-bound Nagal won 6-4, 1-6, 7-6 (3).

Nagal won the first set, but was a shadow of his dominant self in the second set as Klein cantered through it.
