Ankita Raina and Rutuja Bhosale were eliminated from the women's doubles tennis event at the Asian Games in Nagoya on Monday, September 28, 2026, after a first-round defeat, while Sumit Nagal's men's singles match was suspended by rain.

The Indian doubles pairing lost to Kazakhstan's Yulia Putintseva and Anna Danilina in a contest decided by a match tie-break, going down 7-5 3-6 5-10 in the opening round; the loss ended their participation in the women's doubles draw.

In men's singles play, Sumit Nagal was 3-2 in the opening set against South Korea's Hong Seongchan when rain halted the match and play was stopped for the day.

Nagal's interrupted match is scheduled to continue on Tuesday, September 29, 2026, when play resumes on the same fixture.

Ahead of the Asian Games encounter, Nagal had lost both his singles to Korean players at the recent Davis Cup tie in Seoul, a record noted in his recent competitive run.

With the doubles defeat, India's women's doubles campaign at the Asian Games has ended, and Sumit Nagal will return to complete his singles match against Hong Seongchan on Tuesday, September 29, 2026.
