The South Korean soft tennis teams have both been eliminated in the quarterfinals of the men's and women's team events at the Hangzhou 2022 Asian Games.

The men's team fell 0-2 to Japan in the semifinals of the soft tennis team event on Thursday at the Hangzhou Olympic Center in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China.

The doubles pairing of Kim Tae-min (Suwon City Hall) and Kim Hyun-soo (Dalseong County Government) lost 2-5 to Takafumi Uchimoto and Sora Hiruka, while Yoon Hyung-wook (Sunchang County Government) fell 3-4 to Toshiki Uematsu.

The women's team also lost 0-2 in the quarterfinals of the women's team event against Japan.

There will be no bronze medal match in soft tennis at this tournament, with all four eliminated teams receiving bronze medals.

South Korean soft tennis won gold in the men's team event at the Asian Games in Incheon 2014 and Jakarta-Palembang 2018. The women's team won four consecutive titles from 1994 in Hiroshima to 2006 in Doha, and also won gold in Incheon in 2014.

Their bid for a third straight title in the men's team event came to an end in the quarterfinals. The women's team won silver at the 2018 Jakarta-Palembang Games, where they aimed to regain the top spot, but were unable to do so. 카지노사이트존
