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.
