On July 10 of last year, Jose Hyuk (15-Namwon-based Sports Club) burst onto the scene as the inaugural Wimbledon U-14 boys’ singles champion. How far has he come since then?
After traveling to the IMG Academy in the U.S. in February under the auspices of the Korea Tennis Association, Jose Hyuk is back in action at a domestic junior tournament.
The 67th Jangho Hongjong Munbae Junior Tennis Tournament will be held at the Jangho Tennis Center in Jangchung, Jung-gu, Seoul from December 12 to 14.
The tournament was founded in 1957 by Jang Ho Hong Jong-moon, who served as the president of the Korea Tennis Association in the 1960s and 1970s, to foster and support junior players. 소닉카지노
16 players of both sexes will be invited to compete in a tournament to determine the men’s and women’s singles champions based on their performance in domestic and international tournaments and Korean junior rankings. The winner will receive $5000 (approximately 660,000 won) for overseas travel expenses, while the runner-up will receive $3000.
This year, Kim Jang-jun (17-Orion) is the No. 1 seed in men’s singles. Kim Yoo-jin (18-Bucheon SC) is the No. 1 seed in the women’s event.
Lee Seo-ah (16-Chuncheon SC), who had a sensational run to the quarterfinals of the singles event at the second edition of the ITF Youngwol International Women’s Tennis Championships 2023 last week, will be the No. 4 seed.
Entering the tournament as a wild card, the South Korean made a statement with a 2-0 (6-2, 6-1) victory over third-seeded Dasha Ivanova (USA) in straight sets.
