Lee trains at the USTA National Campus in Lake Nona with his mother, Tina Lee, who is the associate head professional of the High Performance Academy. This win is a testament to his hard work and dedication, especially after dealing with injuries over the past year and a half.
Lee’s victory is not only a personal achievement but also a source of pride for the Orlando community. His win marks the second time an American has won the championship in the decade, following Samir Banerjee’s win in 2021.
