Chung Hyeon (Korean: 정현; Korean pronunciation: [tɕəːŋ hjʌn]; born 19 May 1996), nicknamed "The Daddy" or "Chung-Daddy", is a South Korean tennis player playing on the ATP World Tour. He reached his highest ATP singles ranking of 51 and his highest doubles ranking of 187 on 11 April 2016.
Chung took up tennis as a way to try to help maintain his eyesight after requiring glasses at a young age. He won the Eddie Herr International and Junior Orange Bowl Boys under-12s titles in December 2008, and was subsequently signed, along with his brother Chung Hong, to the Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy at IMG in Florida. He began competing on the ITF junior tour in 2012, and was runner-up in the 2013 Wimbledon Boys' Singles, a month after winning his first Futures title. He later competed in his first ATP tournament, the Malaysian Open, being defeated in the first round. He reached a career junior high of number 7, with an 84-32 win-loss record.
2014 saw Chung move full-time to the men's professional game, winning 3 Futures tournaments and the 2014 Bangkok Open, his first Challenger level tournament. He competed in the qualifying for the 2014 US Open and won two matches for the South Korea Davis Cup team to help keep them in the Asia/Oceania Zone Group I. He also won gold in the doubles competition at the 2014 Asian Games and ended 2014 ranked 151 in the ATP Rankings.
