Sumit Nagal vs Denis Istomin to play on Court 10 of Ariake Tennis Park

Sumit Nagal and Denis Istomin haven't met previously in their career - this will be their very first meeting. 

Nagal, who is currently the World No. 160 is the preferred candidate in this clash but Istomin has been a former World No. 33 and therefore, Nagal needs to be careful! 

Can't wait for this to start? So can't we!
