The Argentine tennis team lost 3-2 to South Korea in the first qualifying round of the Davis Cup. This defeat is one of the most humiliating in the country's history in this tournament, as the opponent had no players in the top 300 of the world rankings. Argentina started the series well with a victory from Thiago Tirante over Hyeon Chung. However, Soon-Woo Kwon leveled the score by defeating Marco Trungelliti. Then, after the victory of Guido Andreozzi and Federico Gomez in the doubles match, the Argentine team, led by Javier Frana, took the lead again. But in the end, South Korea won the series thanks to the victories of Kwon and Chung over Tirante and Trungelliti, respectively. As a result of this loss, Argentina will have to play in the playoffs in September to maintain its category. It is already known who their potential rivals could be. According to the Argentine News Agency, the other winners in their series were China, Chinese Taipei, Colombia, Finland, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Monaco, New Zealand, Paraguay, Poland, Switzerland, and Turkey.
