Chung Hyeon (1104th in the world ranking), a former member of the tennis national team, reached the singles final at the Amman Mineral Championship (total prize money of $30,000), an International Tennis Federation (ITF) Futures competition.

Chung beat Chase Ferguson (1112nd, Australia) 2-1 (6-4 3-66-2) in the singles semifinals in Bali, Indonesia, on the 4th (local time).

Chung Hyun used the myth of the semifinals in the Australian Open singles at a major tournament in 2018.

He played doubles with Kwon Soon-woo at the 2022 Korea Open, but was closed indefinitely due to recurrence of back pain.

Chung Hyun, who has repeatedly undergone treatment and rehabilitation between Germany and Korea, continues to play on the court after returning to singles through the Seoul Open in 2023.

This tournament is an ITF Futures-grade tournament, two levels below the men's professional tennis (ATP) tour, but it has built up confidence by reaching the final. 토토사이트
