The Korean men’s national tennis team, which is challenging to advance to the Davis Cup Finals (R16) for the second year in a row following last year, continued their hopes by winning the doubles match.
South Korea played Min-gyu Song (147th in doubles, KDB Industrial Bank) – Ji-seong Nam (152nd in doubles) in the doubles match against Belgium in the 2023 Davis Cup finals (4 singles, 1 doubles) held at the indoor tennis stadium in Olympic Park, Songpa-gu, Seoul on the 5th. Sejong City Hall) group defeated Yoran Bligen (53rd in doubles) and Zander Jill (55th in doubles) with a set score of 2-0 (7-6<7-3> 7-6<7-5>).
In the doubles game on this day, the two teams did not give each other a single serve game, and both sets went to a tie-break. Korea had 2 break opportunities and Belgium had 9 chances to bring the other side’s serve, but they failed to score and steal each other’s serve game 먹튀검증.
Korea was on the defensive from the first serve game in the first set. Korea, which gave away the first game, succeeded in protecting the sub game by overcoming the crisis of being driven to break points twice in the second game.
After taking the first set after a tie-break, Korea kept the sub game stable in the second set and entered the tie-break situation with the atmosphere set. And at the last point, Nam Ji-sung put a cool serve ace in the middle of the court, ending the two-hour game.
Song Min-gyu said, “We had the heart to go all the way to the tie-break while unconditionally protecting our serve game.
Nam Ji-seong said, “I thought it would be a game that was pushed back because the opponent’s ranking was in the top 50, but we brought the atmosphere and I’m satisfied.” I got a lot of strength (from the crowd) while playing today.”
On that day, all 700 paid spectators seats at the stadium were sold out, and slogans such as “Fighting Korea” and “Let’s go to the Round of 16” came out from the stands, showing great enthusiasm. They cheered and encouraged the Korean players whenever they scored.
Korea all bowed their heads in the 1st and 2nd singles the day before. You have to win all three matches (doubles and 3/4 singles) to be on the finals stage. Since I laughed in doubles, I need a win in the remaining two singles.
In the third singles event that follows, Kwon Soon-woo (61st in singles) and David Gopin (41st), the “aces” of both teams, face each other.
If Kwon Soon-woo defeats Gopin, the score will be tied 2-2, and the winner will be decided in the final 4 singles match between Hong Seong-chan (237th) and Jiju Berris (115th).
