Full Lee Hyung-Taik Biography

Lee Hyung-taik (Pronounced: Hyung-taek) (born January 3, 1976) is the most successful South Korean male tennis player in history.

Lee was born in a potato-farming village in Hoengseong County, South Korea. He began playing tennis at age nine and turned pro in 1995.

He made a splash at the 2000 US Open Grand Slam tournament, reaching the 4th round before losing to Pete Sampras. In 2003, Lee became the first Korean to win ATP Tour singles and doubles titles by winning the singles tournament at the Adidas International in Sydney as a qualifier (beating Juan Carlos Ferrero in the final) and the doubles tournament at the Siebel Open in San Jose (partnering with Belarusian Vladimir Voltchkov).

In the 2nd Round of Wimbledon 2006 Lee was defeated by former champion and two-time semi-finalist Lleyton Hewitt in five sets, including three tie-breakers. Lee had set points in the third set tie-breakers, but went on to lose the set after an incorrect line call. As Lee went on to win the fourth set the call probably prevented him winning the match against the eventual quarter-finalist.

Lee has sometimes appeared in doubles with Korean-American player Kevin Kim, the only other ethnic Korean player on the ATP Tour. The pair reached the third round of the French Open 2005.

Lee is right-handed and uses a one-handed backhand. His favorite surface is hardcourt, the most common surface in Korea. He is coached by Young-il Yoon.
