Kwon Soon-woo's performance in the first round of Wimbledon clearly proved that his recent slump was not a simple decline in skill, but a temporary environmental change. The process of winning a complete 3-0 set score against Martin Landalusse, ranked 60th in the world, was overwhelming. Even though his first serve success rate was somewhat low, Kwon Soon-woo did not lose control of the game, producing bold strokes and sophisticated winners. In particular, the drop shots and forehand slams he mixed in during the rally completely broke the opponent's defensive rhythm, proving how perfectly he has adapted to the grass court. The way he made a more cool-headed return whenever his opponent stumbled due to a mistake showed both the accomplishments of a seasoned veteran and the fighting spirit of a soldier who never gave up until the end.

The reason Kwon Soon-woo's victory in this final is even more valuable is because of the difficult process he went through to reach Wimbledon. As full-time tour activities became difficult due to the double whammy of injury and military service, the ranking fell to the top 300, and it is true that public interest was not as strong as before. However, instead of giving up, he chose to gradually regain his sense of real-world skills through challenger competitions. Starting with winning the Gwangju Open in April of this year and finishing the warm-up by reaching the top spot in succession at the Wuxi Open in China, he confidently won a ticket to the finals by overcoming the hurdle of winning three consecutive Wimbledon preliminaries. This is not simply a result of luck, but the result of tenacity in achieving ranking points and prize money on one's own.

Winning the Wimbledon finals for the first time in five years is a significant turning point and milestone in Kwon Soon-woo's career. Having reached the peak by winning the ATP Tour in 2021 and 2023, the fact that he has once again revealed his presence in a major tournament will have a very positive impact on the future tour schedule. The fact that he proved his competitiveness on the international stage despite his special status as a member of the Armed Forces Athletic Corps is a strong message that he remains a leading figure in Korean men's tennis. As the total prize money for this tournament is the largest ever, financial rewards based on performance and an increase in ranking points are expected to be the best motivation for him as he tries to make a comeback after his injury.

Now, an even taller wall awaits Kwon Soon-woo. Tommy Paul, ranked 25th in the world, who he will face in the second round, is not an easy opponent, and is a strong player who has inflicted painful defeats on Kwon Soon-woo in their past two encounters. However, the revenge battle that Kwon Soon-woo will wage, having fully regained his confidence on the grass court through this first round, will be the most interesting point to watch in the men's singles tournament. Although the prevailing opinion is that the opponent has the upper hand, considering the recent upward trend and perfect condition, we can expect a fairly even match. The eyes of tennis fans around the world are focused on him to see how far he can expand his limits on the Wimbledon final court again after two years.
