"It's fabulous winning the Wimbledon title. It's one of the oldest and biggest tournaments, so it's great to win the trophy. I never thought I would be able to do anything like this ever," Nagal was quoted as saying by television channel NDTV.
"It doesn't matter if it's singles or doubles, I am just glad that I have won it."
The 17-year-old also said that coming from India and winning the title makes it even more special.
