Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

[WC] Wu Yibing (CHN) vs Sumit Nagal (IND) First Meeting.
Wu Yibing is currently 24 years old and ranked at World No. 564. His career-high ranking was No. 54. In 2024, he has a win-loss record of 0-2. In the Shanghai tournament of 2018, he reached the second round, with an overall record of 1-2.
Wu Yibing’s ranking significantly improved from No. 1,869 in March 2022 to No. 54 in May 2023 after being absent from March 2019 to January 2022 due to injuries. He had a notable achievement at the 2023 Dallas tournament, where he saved 4 championship points against Isner after defeating No. 8 Fritz in the semifinals. This made him the first Chinese man to win an ATP Tour title, reach an ATP Tour final, and secure a Top-10 victory. Another milestone for him was reaching the third round of the 2022 US Open, becoming the first Chinese man to achieve this in the tournament’s history. In 2022, he had a record of 40-7 in main draw and qualifying matches across all levels, winning titles in ATP Challenger Tour and ITF World Tennis Tour.
Wu Yibing also had success in his junior career. He won the boys’ singles title and boys’ doubles title in the 2017 US Open and reached the rank of World No. 1 junior. As a wildcard ranked 496th, he won the Shanghai Challenger title a week later.
In Shanghai, Wu Yibing is seeking his first tour-level win since defeating Lajovic in the first round of the 2023 US Open. This is also his first time competing in Shanghai since 2018, when he defeated Li in the first round but lost to No. 12 Nishikori in the second round as a wildcard ranked 415th. He aims to become the lowest-ranked match winner in the history of the tournament.
Sumit Nagal, on the other hand, is 27 years old and currently ranked at World No. 83. His career-high ranking was No. 68, achieved in July 2024. In 2024, he has a win-loss record of 5-13, reaching the second round on five occasions. He has not previously played in the Shanghai tournament.
Nagal earned his first ranking point at the age of 16 in 2013. He broke into the Top 200 in 2019 and reached the Top 100 in February 2024 after winning his fifth Challenger title in Chennai. He made his ATP Tour debut at the 2018 Pune tournament as a qualifier and his Grand Slam debut at the 2019 US Open, also as a qualifier, where he lost to Roger Federer in the first round. His first ATP Tour quarterfinal came at the 2021 Buenos Aires tournament.
In the 2024 Monte-Carlo tournament, Nagal defeated Arnaldi in the first round as a qualifier, becoming the first Indian to secure an ATP Masters 1000 win on clay. Nagal has a well-established record in Challenger matches, with a 129-106 record (6-4 in finals) and victories in tournaments such as Bangalore, Buenos Aires, Rome, Tampere, Chennai, and Heilbronn.
In his junior career, Nagal reached a peak ranking of No. 23 in 2015. He had a record of 88-53 and defeated future Top 10 players Berrettini, Hurkacz, Shapovalov, and Tiafoe. He ended his junior career by winning the 2015 Wimbledon boys’ doubles title with Ly.
Nagal is looking for his second ATP Masters 1000 match win of his career after defeating Arnaldi in the first round of the Monte-Carlo tournament in April. This victory made him the first Indian man to achieve a main draw win at the event and the first player representing India to win an ATP Masters 1000 match on hard courts since Gunneswaran reached the third round of the 2019 Indian Wells tournament.
