\"After a few rough months with injury and almost no training, I regained my rhythm in Thailand in May 2023. The second half of the year was much better with more focus, training, and determination. I am looking to finish the year on a high in Dubai,\u201d said Nagar after winning his men\u2019s singles SH6 Group B game against Indonesia\u2019s Subhan Subhan at the ongoing 5th Fazza Dubai Para Badminton International 2023.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThe silver in Asian Para Games was a big confidence booster,\u201d added the 24-year-old who also won gold medals in Canada and England this year.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Jaipur-based shuttler also highlighted that the competition in SH6 category has been very strong with the top 10 world ranked players unleashing variety and variations in their game.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cOne must give his best in every game \u2013 you cannot take any game easy. The level of the competition is very high in every championship,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Nagar also singled out Hong Kong\u2019s top seed Chu Man Kai as the toughest player in the men\u2019s singles SH 6 event. \u201cHe has been one player who is difficult to beat. He (Man Kai) relies on his rallies, so one must be very patient.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Indian shuttler is hoping to defend his title in Paris. \u201cI hope to play good competition, play long rallies, and try not to make mistakes.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Much like Nagar, England\u2019s third seed Jack Shephard wants to ride on his two gold medals at the European Championships to finish the year on a high.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIt has been a good year and I have the two European Championships which is a big motivation to work even harder. It\u2019s ongoing work to keep improving. I am aiming for two gold medals at the Paris 2024 Paralympics,\u201d said Shephard who overcame China's Lin Naili 21-19, 14-21, 21-15 in men\u2019s singles SH6 Round 2 Group C game.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
