Hyung-Taik Lee
Hyung-Taik Lee has a competitive career record of 161–164 across 325 matches (49.5%). The record shows a player capable of competing at Tour level, though there is clear room to push the win rate higher. Claimed 1 title: Sydney.
At Grand Slam level (Australian Open, Roland Garros, Wimbledon, US Open): Hyung-Taik Lee is 22–29 (43.1%) across 51 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth makes that a notoriously difficult barrier.
ATP Masters 1000 (Indian Wells, Miami, Monte Carlo, Madrid, Rome, Canada, Cincinnati, Shanghai, Paris): Hyung-Taik Lee is 16–27 (37.2%) across 43 Masters matches — below .500 in the Tour's deepest fields. Lifting that record here would unlock better results across the calendar.
2 finals reached — won 1, lost 1 (solid 50% conversion) — consistently getting to finals and winning the majority is a hallmark of elite performers. 7 semifinals. 21 quarterfinals.
vs. Top 10: 5–25 (16.7%, 30 matches). Top 10 opponents have represented a clear ceiling; addressing that deficit is the single biggest lever for improving the overall record.
By format — best-of-five: 59–38 (60.8%); best-of-three: 102–126 (44.7%). Significantly better in five-set matches — a strong physical profile that tends to tell as matches and tournaments progress.
Peak season: 2007 — 25–23 (52.1%) from 48 matches. That year captures the ceiling of what Hyung-Taik Lee can do when performing at their best and represents the standard to aim for.
