Lee Duck-hee

For the Korean former tennis player on the women's circuit, see Lee Duk-hee.

Lee Duck-hee (Korean: 이덕희; born 29 May 1998) is a South Korean professional tennis player.

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]

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]
