My Take
Kwon Soon-woo is the kind of player I instinctively root for. Reaching a career-high ATP ranking of world No. 52 out of Sangju, a regional Korean city with no real tennis pedigree, is a remarkable feat that gets too easily overlooked. In a sport dominated by European and South American academy systems, simply cracking the top 100 as an Asian singles player is hard, and he did it the slow way, grinding through Challenger and ITF events for years. Two ATP titles are no small reward for that patience. I'm always more moved by the self-made grinder than the prodigy, and he is firmly that.
