Personal life
Jung played college tennis at the University of Michigan, where he majored in political science. As a tennis player, he was the National and Midwest Regional winner of the ITA/Arthur Ashe Award for Leadership & Sportsmanship in 2010, made the All Big Ten team as a junior and senior, and is 4th all-time in Michigan history in career doubles wins.[1]
He blogs about his experiences and his life as a professional tennis player.[2] He was featured in an article by ESPN's Grantland (along with fellow Michigan alum Evan King and up-and-coming players Frances Tiafoe and William Blumberg) that highlighted the struggles and low prize money in playing on the ITF Futures Tour.[3]
Career
Jung's career best result is a quarterfinal berth at the 2018 Dell Technologies Hall of Fame Tennis Championships in Newport, Rhode Island. He defeated veteran Nicolas Mahut in the fourth round but his run was ended by Tim Smyczek who outlasted Jung 6-1, 5-7, 6-4 in a nearly two-hour, 185-point marathon men’s quarterfinal match.[4]
