NAGOYA, Japan - Korean tennis player Kwon Soon-woo withdrew from his third-round men's singles match at the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games on Wednesday due to a knee injury. The incident occurred during his match against Uzbekistan's Khumoyun Sultanov at Higashiyama Park Tennis Center in Nagoya, Japan. Kwon was trailing 3-0 in the first set when he retired, marking his fifth appearance in the tournament's singles competition.
Korea's participation in singles events was now at an end, as all four of their singles players had been eliminated from medal contention. Prior to Kwon's exit, Hong Seong-chan had lost in the men's singles second round, while Back Da-yeon and Ku Yeon-woo were out in the women's second round. Despite these setbacks, Korea managed to secure a bronze medal in men's doubles on Wednesday, with Nam Ji-sung and Park Ui-sung advancing to the semifinals.
In the quarterfinals, Nam and Park defeated Thailand's Pruchya Isaro and Maximus Jones 2-0 (6-2, 6-3), earning Korea its second consecutive men's doubles medal.
