In his first singles match since September 2020, Hyeon Chung loses to Jordan Thompson 2-6 4-6 in Seoul. Ground game was really all over the place, but that's not the most important thing right now. At least he got some playtime and didn't seem bothered by any physical issues.
Former top 20 ranked player Hyeon Chung lost his singles return at the Seoul Challenger getting beaten by Jordan Thompson 6-2 6-4.
The South Korean player has been out of tennis for a long time due to various injuries but slowly he's attempting a comeback.
This was his first singles action in years and it was an okay match. Obviously, he was very rusty and he was taking on a really solid player in Jordan Thompson who recently defeated Tsitsipas in Indian Wells.
He showed a better level in the second set compared to the first set which was expected as he found a better rhythm the more he played.
The serve was a particular problem for him as he hit his first one only 57 % of the time and committed six double faults. Not the best of matches but a first single match in years so that's progress.
