South Korea's Lee Duck-hee has become the first deaf player to win a match in the main draw of a tournament on the ATP Tour. The 21-year-old, who is ranked 212th in the world, beat Switzerland's Henri Laaksonen 7-6 6-1 at the Winston-Salem Open in North Carolina.
Lee does not communicate with sign language but instead uses lip-reading. During his post-match interview his fiancee Soopin assisted him, clarifying answers for reporters in English.
