India's Tennis Team Finishes Asian Games Without Medals for First Time Since 1986
India's tennis team ended the Asian Games without winning any medals for the first time since 1986. The campaign concluded after top player Sumit Nagal lost 4-6, 4-6 to China's Yibing Wu in the men's singles quarterfinals. Earlier exits in doubles and singles rounds, including losses by Yuki Bhambri, N Sriram Balaji, and Ramkumar Ramanathan, contributed to the outcome. The team had entered with medal expectations, but faced challenges converting opportunities despite experienced players.
