Argentina and South Korea draw, Davis Cup tie decided Sunday | OneFootball

The series for the first qualifying round of the 2026 Davis Cup against South Korea began with a split of points for the Argentine team. After a grueling duel of almost three hours, Thiago Tirante defeated Hyeon Chung in three sets, while Marco Trungelliti dropped his match against Soon-Woo Kwon. Thus, everything will be decided in the early hours of Sunday, with the doubles match and the reverse singles still to come.

The tough match between Tirante and Chung lasted two hours and 52 minutes. The player from La Plata felt the nerves of his debut, lost the first set 2-6, and was even down 3-4 in the second with the Korean serving. Even so, Tirante grew stronger, regained momentum, and ended up winning the first duel 2-6, 7-5, 7-6 (5) against the world number 392, who was once among the top 20 in the rankings.

Trungelliti’s debut, on the other hand, was not the same. After a very balanced first set that was only decided by a tie-break, Kwon proved stronger than the Argentine and took the second match 7-6 (6), 6-2.

Thus, the series will begin to be decided in the early hours of Sunday, when Guido Andreozzi and Federico Gómez face Jisung Nam and Ulsung Park in the doubles match. Immediately after, the reverse singles will take place, with Tirante facing Kwon and Trungelliti facing Chung, if necessary.
