Nagal had sustained his rankings in the top-100 since March 2024, but now he is placed 106 with 565 points in the latest chart.
He has been struggling on the Tour off late. Since the Wimbledon last year, Nagal has taken part in 18 competitions but won the main draw games in only three of them.
A top-100 position grants players direct entires in big events, including Grand Slams, and even an early defeat guarantees them a reasonable prize money.

Following Nagal was Sasikumar Mukund at number 365 (+2), Ramkumar Ramanathan (406, -1), Karan Singh (496, -20) and Aryan Shah (593, -9).
In doubles, Bopanna, who is still playing solid tennis at the age of 44, lost five places to be at number 21. Being the Australian Open defending champion, Bopanna had to defend a lot of points in Melbourne, where he lost in the opening round with new partner Nicolas Barrientos.
Bopanna has featured in top-20 consistently since October 3, 2022.
Yuki Bhambri was unchanged at number 47 and following him was N Sriram Balaji (64, +1), Rithvik Choudary Bollipalli (79, -7) and Arjun Kadhe (83, +1).
Mukund, Ramkumar, Balaji Karan Singh and Bollipalli are part of the Indian Davis Cup squad that will take on Togo in the World Group I Play-off tie on February 1-2.
Nagal and Bhambri did not make themselves available for the match.
