Sumit Nagal asked for help on social media from the Embassy of his country in China to help him overturn the decision of the authorities in this country who have denied him a visa to compete in the playoff where an invitation for the main draw of the Australian Open 2026 is at stake. At 28 years old, the Indian is ranked 275th in the ATP rankings, far from the 68th position he held last year, and if China does not reverse a decision motivated by geopolitical tensions with India, he may be deprived of the opportunity to secure a spot in the first Grand Slam of the year.
[URGENT]
