  "account": "Sumit Nagal's sudden collapse marred India's Davis Cup campaign as South Korea clinched their first quarterfinal berth. The 29-year-old Indian tennis star, the nation's top-ranked singles player, appeared fatigued during his reverse singles match against Soonwoo Kwon. Nagal's performance on Day 2 starkly contrasted with his spirited match against Hyeon Chung earlier. Facing a grueling three-hour battle against Kwon, Nagal ultimately succumbed, saving four match points on his serve. The world No. 157 attributed his loss to Kwon's superior gameplay on the slow, low court at Seoul's Olympic Park Tennis Center. In the end, India's hopes for advancing to the prestigious Final 8 faded as the team will resume their next Davis Cup campaign from the Qualifiers stage.",
