India’s Tennis Player Sumit Nagal Seeks $50,000 To Represent The Country

The All India Tennis Association claimed that Sumit Nagal demanded an annual fee of USD 50,000 to play Davis Cup ties for India, but the country’s top singles player defended himself, saying it is standard practice for athletes to be paid for their services. He had opted out of the recent Davis Cup tie against Sweden, citing a back strain that also forced him out of the US Open men’s doubles.
