Jason Jung (born 15 June 1989) is an American-born professional tennis player who represents Chinese Taipei. He is a Michigan alumn who has cracked the Top 200 in the ATP rankings and also won an ATP Challenger event.
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.
He blogs about his experiences and his life as a professional tennis player. 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.
Jung's career best result is a Challenger title in the maiden event at Chengdu in China. He defeated veteran Ruben Ramirez Hidalgo in the final and did not drop a set during the tournament.
