Jamie Lee Hampton (born January 8, 1990, in Frankfurt, West Germany) is an American professional tennis player. On July 29, 2013, she reached her highest singles ranking of world no. 24.
Hampton was born in Frankfurt, West Germany, because her father, a career US Army officer, was stationed in Germany at the time. Her mother is from South Korea. Soon after, the family moved to the United States. She lived in Enterprise, Alabama, until she was 13; then, she moved to Auburn, Alabama. Before graduating from Auburn High School in 2008, Hampton twice won the USTA Girls’ 18s doubles title. Hampton turned pro in 2009, playing her first US Open in 2010.
After qualifying for the ASB Classic in Auckland, New Zealand, Hampton fell in the first round to Monica Niculescu. As a qualifier, she advanced to the second round of the Australian Open with a win over Mandy Minella. She was then beaten by eventual finalist, Maria Sharapova. Next, Hampton played in Memphis International where she beat defending champion Magdaléna Rybáriková in the first round but then fell to Vera Dushevina.
She then received a wild card into the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, California where she made it into the fourth round before having to retire due to cramping against Agnieszka Radwańska, having defeated former champion Jelena Janković in the second round en route. Hampton had to go through qualifying to play in the Sony Ericsson Open, and then lost in the first round to Polona Hercog, whom she had beaten earlier at the BNP Paribas Open. Her next tournament was the Family Circle Cup. She beat compatriot Sloane Stephens but then lost to U.S. Open champion Samantha Stosur in the second round.
