The ATP Challenger: India’s Karan Singh went down in a three-set battle to seventh seed Daniel Michalski of Poland in first-round main draw action at the 2026 Delhi Open on Monday. The ATP Challenger 75 event, now in its sixth edition, is being held at the DLTA Complex from February 16 to 22, with 32 men's singles players and 16 doubles teams competing for the title.

Speaking on his win, Michalski said, “I was already with one foot outside of the tournament. Then my game came back, and I showed way better tennis at the end. Tennis on the higher level is a sport of very tiny margins.”

In other first-round main draw matches, fifth seed Oliver Crawford of Great Britain scored a hard-fought 7-6, 6-5 win over Croatia’s Duje Ajdukovic, while Belgium’s Michael Geerts defeated Lithuania’s Edas Butvilas 6-3, 7-5.
