The 27-year-old made an early exit in the Auckland ASB Classic, in the run-up to the season-opening Grand Slam, but the Indian star will take inspiration from his last year's outing in Melbourne.
In a career highlight win, Sumit Nagal stunned the then-world number 31 Alexander Bublik from Kazakhstan in the opening round. He eventually crashed out of the tournament after going down to China's Juncheng Shang in the second round.
Nagal qualified for the main draw of the Australian Open 2025 thanks to his rankings. Currently 96th on the ATP rankings, he is also India's highest-ranked singles tennis player.
It will be a tough outing for Nagal, who has a career win/loss record of 15/35. Machac, 24, had famously beaten world number two Carlos Alcaraz at the ATP Shanghai Masters last season. They will be meeting for the first on the tour. Machac's career win/loss record is 51/42.
