January 3, 1976) is the most successful South Korean male tennis player in history. Lee was born in Hoingsung (Hoengseong), a potato-farming village in Gangwon province, 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).
