Tennis: Lee becomes first deaf player to win an ATP main draw match
- Lee Duck-hee became the first deaf player to win an ATP Tour main draw match on Monday when the South Korean defeated Henri Laaksonen 7-6 6-1 in the first round of the Winston-Salem Open.
Diagnosed as deaf at the age of two, Lee cannot hear calls from the line judges or the umpire and relies on signals and gestures for the information. “My message for people who are hearing impaired is to not be discouraged. If you try hard, you can do anything.”Former world number one Andy Murray, continuing his comeback from hip surgery, fell 7-6 7-5 to Tennys Sandgren in a first round match that was delayed by rain for several hours.
