South Korea's Nam Ji-sung and Park Ui-sung advanced to the men's doubles final at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games on Thursday, bringing the team closer to its first tennis championship in 12 years. The duo defeated Chinese Taipei's Ho Chenjui and Hsu Yu-hsiou 2-1 in the semifinals at Higashiyama Park Tennis Center in Nagoya, Japan.
The final match is scheduled for Friday, where the Korean team will face either China's Jiang Fumin and Zhang Tianhui or Japan's Yusuke Kusuhara and Shunsuke Nakagawa. South Korea has not won an Asiad tennis gold since the men's doubles victory by Chung Hyeon and Lim Yong-kyu in 2014. Initially, South Korea aimed to secure four gold medals in tennis, but all singles players were eliminated early in their respective tournaments, as were the women's doubles and mixed doubles teams.
