Bae Nam-ju
South Korean tennis player
Bae Nam-ju (born 5 December 1965) is a Korean former professional tennis player.
While competing on the professional tour, Bae reached career high rankings of 428 in singles and 399 in doubles. His only main draw appearance on the ATP Tour came in the doubles of the 1990 KAL Cup Korea Open.
Bae was a doubles bronze medalist for South Korea at the 1987 Summer Universiade in Zagreb and was a member of the silver winning men's team at the 1990 Asian Games in Beijing. He featured in three Davis Cup ties for South Korea, between 1988 and 1990.
His Davis Cup debut came against Indonesia in 1988, where he partnered Yoo Jin-sun to a loss in the doubles. In 1990 he returned for a tie against India and teamed up with Yoo Jin-sun to win the doubles rubber over Zeeshan Ali and Leander Paes, which secured the tie. This gave South Korea a spot in the World Group qualifiers and they came up against Belgium in Brussels, but they were unable to progress, with Bae losing two singles rubbers.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Bae Nam-ju” as south Korean tennis player. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as south Korean tennis player. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 25, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q99525691. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1965, 1990, 1987 and 1988.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
