Personal life

Lee was born deaf. On the tennis court, he can hear vibrations, but must rely on hand gestures to pick up line calls and the umpire.[1] In 2015, his story was included during a campaign for the ANZ Bank, which was a sponsor for the Australian Open that year.[2]

Professional career

He turned pro in 2013. He played his first Challenger match at age 14. In August 2019 he became the first deaf player to compete in and win a match in the main draw of an ATP tournament with a win over Henri Laaksonen at the Winston-Salem Open.[3]
