Baek Da-yeon wins the women's singles title

Lee Jae-moon (KD and Baek Da-yeon (NH Bank) won the men's and women's singles titles at the Hana Securities 78th Korea Tennis Championships.

Lee Jae-moon defeated Jung Yoon-sung 2-1 (1-6 6-3 7-5) in the men's singles final on the final day of the tournament at Gimcheon Sports Town in Gimcheon, North Gyeongsang Province, on Friday.

It was a year of revenge for Lee, who lost 0-2 (3-6 2-6) to Jung in the final of the tournament last year.

However, Jung Yoon-seong, who was trying to win his third consecutive title, was unable to maintain his momentum after taking the first set and lost the title to Lee Jae-moon.

In the women's singles final, Baek Da-yeon defeated Kim Na-ri (Suwon City Hall) in straight sets.

Baek was up 5-0 in the first set when Kim withdrew due to a left thigh injury.

Baek, who won the title for the first time at the Korean Championships, will fly out of Korea at 1 a.m. on June 6 to compete in the Billie Jean King Cup Playoffs against Brazil.

"I hope to play well against Brazil in the Billie Jean King Cup and advance to the final round," said Baek, who won a bronze medal in the women's doubles event at this year's Hangzhou Asian Games with Lee Jung-young (NH Bank). "After Brazil, I will play in a $100,000 tournament in Japan, and in the 2024 season, I hope to play in a tournament with a higher prize pool than the $15,000 prize pool I played in this year."

The men's and women's singles winners of the Korean Championships will receive 10 million won each.
