South Korea's Lee Jun-suk has advanced to the final of men's singles in teqball at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games. His Kuwaiti rival, Zaid Eidan, withdrew from their semifinal match due to a left thigh injury, declaring Lee the winner.
Lee will face Ali Jalil Mezher Alelayawi of Iraq in Sunday's gold-medal match, guaranteeing him at least a silver medal. According to Yonhap News, Lee felt a great responsibility as a trailblazer for teqball in South Korea, but also felt relieved after reaching the final.
The Korean teqball team was formed about six months ago, after the sport was officially added to the Asian Games competition program in February. Lee expressed his desire to win a medal to promote the sport and help his teammates extend their careers.
