Nagal's Olympic journey ends in under 3 hours, leaving Paris after losing in first round.

In a highly anticipated match at Roland Garros, Indian tennis player Sumit Nagal faced off against Frenchman Corentin Moutet in the Paris Olympics. Despite Nagal's strong baseline game, Moutet proved to be a formidable opponent and ultimately defeated Nagal in a thrilling three-set match.

This was Nagal's second appearance at the Olympic Games, having previously lost in the second round to Russian player Daniil Medvedev in Tokyo. However, Nagal was determined to make a mark in Paris and was ready to face Moutet, who he had a history of close matches with.

The match started off with a boisterous crowd cheering on Moutet, causing Nagal to have a nervy start. Moutet took advantage of this, utilizing underarm serves and a variety of shots to unsettle Nagal. The crowd's chants of "Coco-Coco" and "Moutet-Moutet" only added to the energy and intensity of the match.

Despite Nagal's efforts, Moutet was able to claim the first set with a score of 6-2. However, Nagal bounced back in the second set, finding his rhythm and finally breaking Moutet to take the set. The crowd was on their feet, singing the national anthem and urging on their home favorite, Moutet.

In the deciding set, Nagal had a chance to take control of the match when he was up 2-0, but Moutet fought back and broke Nagal's serve. The match continued to be a back-and-forth battle, with both players giving it their all. However, it was Moutet who ultimately emerged victorious, winning the third set 7-5.

Moutet will now move on to face either Australian player Alex di Minaur or German player Jan-Lenard Struff in the next round. Meanwhile, the Indian men's doubles team of Rohan Boppanna and N Sriram Balaji will also be in action later in the day against French duo Gael Monfils and Edouard Roger-Vasselin.

Although Nagal's journey at the Paris Olympics has come to an end, he can be proud of his performance and the effort he put in against a tough opponent. The crowd may have been disappointed, but they were treated to an intense and exciting match between two skilled players.
