South Korea’s Ride Home Support To Davis Cup Win Over Argentina

-

In a thrilling comeback fueled by a passionate home crowd in Busan, South Korea defeated Argentina 3-2 in the first round of the 2026 Davis Cup Qualifiers on February 8, 2026.

The victory was particularly dramatic as the South Korean team trailed 1-2 heading into the final singles matches. The "ride home support" was the decisive factor, with the vocal Busan fans pushing the Korean players to overcome higher-ranked opponents.

Key Highlights

Home Crowd Advantage: Soon-Woo Kwon, who is currently completing his mandatory military service, credited the Busan fans for his pivotal fourth-rubber win, stating their loud cheering helped him remain focused while down a break in the final set.

Hyeon Chung's Return: The former world No. 19, continuing his comeback from physical setbacks, secured the decisive fifth point in straight sets against Marco Trungelliti.

Inexperienced Argentina Squad: Argentina competed without their top seven players, who declined to travel citing scheduling conflicts and physical issues. This left captain Javier Frana with a squad of four Davis Cup debutants.

Next Steps: South Korea (#22) will host India (#33) in the next round in mid-September 2026 for a place in the Davis Cup Final 8. Argentina must now compete in the World Group I play-offs in September to avoid relegation.

  White House   press secretary   Karoline Leavitt    on Wednesday has criticized  the media, Democrats, and likely some   Republicans   in the House and Senate for trying to “sow chaos” in the White House with their response to the   Signal   text chain debacle. Leavitt was asked by a reporter if she would definitively say that no one would be fired after a journalist was accidentally added to a Signal thread with top U.S. officials discussing military plans. Leavitt said, "What I can say definitively is what I just spoke to the president about, and he continues to have confidence in his  national security team ." Meanwhile, CNN's Collins attempted to ask the press secretary a follow-up question, but was quickly cut off by Leavitt, who called on another reporter in the room.

  President Trump signed an executive order targeting the ticket reselling industry during a signing ceremony from the White House. The new order will allow the Justice Department and Federal Trade Commission to go after the reselling industry, which has used computer bots and algorithms to buy large blocks of tickets and resell them at extremely higher prices.  Musician Kid Rock, who also appeared at the Republican National Convention last July, was present at the signing in the Oval Office.  The president also took several questions from the press, including on the possibility of additional sanctions on Russia, immigration, and tariffs. “I’ve spoken to him over the years about it and it bothers him,” Trump said about Kid Rock during the executive order’s signing. “It bothers a lot of other artists. They go out with a $100 ticket, and it sells for $2,000 the following night.” Trump admitted that he hadn’t known much about price gouging, “but I checked it out, and it is a...
