Default Deaf junior player on AO

14 y.o. Lee Duck-Hee from Korea is #63 in ITF Junior Ranking lost in second round to Christian Garin(9). Sounds bit ordinary, but there is something special - this boy is deaf

They say umpire didn't know the player was deaf:
Quote:
According to the Australian Open, officials received no specific direction before the match to let them know Lee is deaf but on a number of occasions, umpire Thomas Sweeney used his hands to communicate.
