"We will win no matter what."

The South Korean men's tennis national team, challenging for the first-ever qualification for the Davis Cup Finals 8, issued their declaration of resolve ahead of the decisive match.

Representative team players including Jung Hyun, Kwon Soon-woo, Hong Seong-chan, Nam Ji-seong, Park Ui-sung, and Shin San-hee visited Musinsa's Mega Store in Seongsu, Seongdong-gu, Seoul on the morning of the 14th.

This visit was arranged as part of a collaboration between the Korea Tennis Association and Musinsa. On '29CM', a fashion and lifestyle platform operated by Musinsa, tickets for the 2026 Davis Cup Second Round Qualifier match between South Korea and India, to be held at the Center Court of Seoul Olympic Park Tennis Stadium on the 18th and 19th, are currently being sold.

The players toured the store and also expressed their determination for the upcoming match against India.

'Representative team ace' Kwon Soon-woo told Frein Sports, "This Davis Cup could be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," adding, "I want to show fans an exciting match and a victory."

Jung Hyun, who returned to the national team after two years, called for the support of home fans.

Jung Hyun said, "Since we are playing at home, the players are preparing with special determination," and added, "We ask for your continued interest and support."

Nam Ji-seong, who will play a crucial role in doubles, showed even firmer resolve.

Nam Ji-seong emphasized, "As this is an international team competition, I am approaching it with the mindset that we must win no matter what, and I am confident," adding, "We ask for your interest and support."

Park Ui-sung, who will partner with Nam Ji-seong in doubles, also said firmly, "We have prepared a lot, so our chemistry with Nam Ji-seong is good. We will do our best to show a great performance with victory as our goal."

This match against India is an important contest in the history of Korean tennis.

South Korea advanced to the final hurdle for qualification for the Finals 8 by defeating the powerhouse Argentina 3-2 at the Davis Cup First Round Qualifier held in Busan Gijang last February.

If they defeat India, they will qualify for the Davis Cup Finals 8, which will be held in Bologna, Italy, this November.

If South Korea wins, it will mark the first time in history that the team reaches the world's top eight, 66 years after first stepping onto the Davis Cup stage in 1960.

The match between South Korea and India begins with two singles matches at 2 p.m. on the 18th. On the 19th, one doubles match and two singles matches will be held sequentially starting at noon.

In the Davis Cup, a total of five matches are played over two days, and the nation that first achieves three victories wins.
