ORLANDO, Fla. — One of the best 14-year-old tennis players in the world trains in Orlando at the U.S. Tennis Association's national campus at Lake Nona.

Jordan Lee finished second in the Wimbledon Junior tournament and won the Junior Orange Bowl and Eddie Her International tennis championships in his age classification in 2024.

“When I was a little kid, I never thought I’d be, at this age, traveling and seeing all the different things,” Lee said. “But for me, it’s great. It’s almost like a dream come true.”

Lee's trainer is his mother, Tina Lee, who also is the head professional of the High Performance Academy at the USTA national campus.

“I’m mom first, so my first thing is raising a good person,” Tina Lee said. “He’s a very good kid, and that’s when I feel, like, the satisfaction. When he’s playing tennis, it’s like he’s a player. So, if he’s doing the things that we're working on, I’m happy. If not, we try to keep on getting better.”

So far, it seems to be working.

He plays the game year round and takes classes online because of his travel schedule.

All that tennis can be taxing on the body, and Jordan has already dealt with ankle and wrist injuries. Right now, he's still recovering from an ankle injury.

“You just have to be patient when you’re injured," he said. "I know I won’t lose my tennis. I just have to keep having the right mentality and mindset, and I know I’ll overcome.”
