Delta Air Lines sponsors tennis player Kwon Soon-woo

By Lee Hae-rin, The Korea Times - Delta Air Lines will sponsor Korean professional tennis player Kwon Soon-woo, the carrier said Thursday.

The airline will cover Kwon's flights departing from Incheon International Airport to the U.S. and support his career, while Kwon will wear uniforms featuring the airline's logo and promote the carrier as a brand ambassador until March 2023.

"Delta Air Lines has been supporting promising athletes on the global stage that connect Korea and the U.S. and Kwon is the most ideal player who fits the company's mission to 'keep climbing,'" said Kim Seung-su, director of sales at Delta Air Lines Korea.

In celebration of the sponsorship, the airline is holding a promotional event on Kakao Talk offering limited editions of tennis jackets, hats, and tennis balls with Kwon's signature as gifts.

Since his professional debut in 2015, Kwon won the Seoul Open Challenger in May 2019 and has remained in the No. 1 position in the men's single game in the Korean Tennis Association. He won the men's single at the Astana Open on the ATP Tour in September last year, becoming the first Korean to do so since 2003.

Kwon is ranked 52rd in the ATP, which is the second-highest among Asian players on the list.
