NAGOYA, Japan, Sept. 18 (Yonhap) -- South Korea has guaranteed itself at least bronze medals in the men's and women's team events in soft tennis at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games on Friday.
Both teams reached the semifinals of their events on Friday at Higashiyama Park Tennis Center in Nagoya.
There are no bronze medal matches in soft tennis, where both losing teams in the semifinals will receive bronze.
The soft tennis teams are the first South Korean athletes to secure medals at this year's Asian Games.
Both teams will take on Chinese Taipei in the semifinals Sunday, the day after the opening ceremony. The finals are also Sunday.

On Friday, the women's team of Kim Han-sul, Kim Yeon-hwa, Lee Su-jin, Eom Ye-jin and Hwang Jeong-mi finished second in the group phase behind Japan to book a spot in the semifinals.
South Korea lost to Japan 3-0 in its first match, dropping two doubles and one singles match. Then South Korea beat Cambodia and Pakistan by the identical scores of 3-0.
The men's team, featuring Kim Hyun-woo, Lee Haneul, Kim Jin-woong, Lee Hyun-gwon and Park Jae-kyu, enjoyed wins over Nepal and Indonesia in the group stage on Friday, before beating the Philippines in the quarterfinals.
Soft tennis made its Asian Games debut in 1994, and South Korea leads the all-time medal table with 26 gold medals, 15 silver medals and 20 bronze medals. The country has won at least one soft tennis gold at every edition of the Asian Games since 1994.

日本名古屋，9月18日（韩联社）——韩国已确保在周五举行的爱知-名古屋亚运会男子和女子软式网球团体赛中至少获得铜牌。
周五，两队在名古屋东山公园网球中心举行的比赛中均晋级半决赛。
软式网球比赛中没有铜牌争夺赛，半决赛的两支失利队伍都不会获得铜牌。
韩国软式网球队是今年亚运会上首批获得奖牌的韩国运动员。
两队将于周日（开幕式次日）在半决赛中对阵中华台北队。决赛也将于周日举行。

周五，由金汉雪、金妍花、李秀珍、严艺珍和黄正美组成的女子队在小组赛中获得第二名，仅次于日本队，从而获得了半决赛的资格。
韩国队首战以0比3负于日本队，输掉了两场双打和一场单打比赛。随后，韩国队以相同的比分3比0战胜柬埔寨队和巴基斯坦队。
男子队由金贤宇、李河那、金镇雄、李贤权和朴宰奎组成，他们在周五的小组赛中战胜了尼泊尔和印度尼西亚，然后在四分之一决赛中击败了菲律宾。
软式网球于1994年首次成为亚运会正式比赛项目，韩国以26枚金牌、15枚银牌和20枚铜牌的成绩位居奖牌榜榜首。自1994年以来，韩国在每届亚运会上都至少获得一枚软式网球金牌。
