South Korean Kwon Soon-Woo earns Wimbledon qualifier spot after military duty

South Korean tennis player Kwon Soon-Woo has secured a place in the Wimbledon qualifiers after strong results in Challenger events. The 28-year-old is balancing his career with mandatory military service that began in December 2024.

Kwon Soon-Woo has won three Challenger titles this year in Phan Thiet, Gwangju and Wuxi. These victories returned him to the top 200 in the rankings and earned him entry into the 2026 Wimbledon qualifiers. He continues to train with the Korea Armed Forces Athletic Corps while completing his 18-month service obligation.
