S. Korea grabs men's doubles silver in tennis

South Korean tennis players Nam Ji-sung and Park Ui-sung have won the silver medal in the men's doubles event at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games. They lost to Japan's Yusuke Kusuhara and Shunsuke Nakagawa in the gold medal match with a score of 2-0, specifically 6-3 and 7-6 (7-4). This is South Korea's second consecutive men's doubles medal, following a bronze won by Kwon Soon-woo and Hong Seong-chan in 2023, according to The Korea Times.

The silver medal is South Korea's only medal in tennis at the competition. The country's last Asian Games gold in tennis was in 2014, when Chung Hyeon and Lim Yong-kyu won the men's doubles crown. The final match took place at Higashiyama Park Tennis Center in Nagoya, central Japan.

The Korea Times also reported that this event is part of the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games. Yonhap News reported on a separate event, women's team recurve archery, where South Korea won silver, but this is unrelated to the tennis event.
