Kwon Soon-woo wins both singles matches, South Korea triumphs in Davis Cup playoff for final qualification

Kwon Soon-woo led South Korea to victory in the Davis Cup qualifier by winning both of his singles matches.

In a closely contested Davis Cup qualifier held in Busan, South Korea, Kwon Soon-woo emerged as a crucial player for the South Korean men's tennis team. Facing a challenge against Argentina, who were without several of their top players due to scheduling conflicts, the South Korean team initially struggled, losing their first doubles match. However, with pressure mounting as they fell to a 1-2 match deficit, Kwon stepped up to turn the tide, defeating Argentina's Thiago Agustin Tirante in a thrilling match that reopened the competition with a final score of 2-1 in sets. Despite his victory, Kwon expressed dissatisfaction with his performance, indicating that he felt his play did not meet his expectations.
