Sumit Nagal has received a singles main draw wild card for the 2021 Australian Open. The calendar year's first grand slam is scheduled to begin on February 8, 2021. Nagal received the lone wild card on the men's side reserved for the Asia-Pacific region, with the women's slot going to China's Wang Xiyu.
Nagal, ranked 136 in the world, is the second highest ranked Indian (after Prajnesh Gunneswaran, 129), and has had a good 2020. He won his first ever main draw match at a Grand Slam at the 2020 US Open, beating US' Bradley Klahn 6-1, 6-3, 3-6, 6-1 in the first round before losing to eventual champion Dominic Thiem in straight sets 6-3, 6-3, 6-2.
