Chung shows off blistering forehand in Munich

Published May 03, 2018

You surely know the name Hyeon Chung by now. The world No. 22 showed why he's one of the fast-rising young stars on the tour with an earth-shattering forehand to seal his first clay win of 2018 in Munich.

The 21-year-old South Korean beat Matthias Bachinger, a qualifier 10 years his senior, 6-1, 6-1, to set up a quarterfinal with Martin Klizan.

Chung has had a breakthrough season so far, reaching the semifinals of the Australian Open before making runs to the quarterfinals of both Indian Wells and Miami.

After starting the year at No. 58, Chung cracked the Top 20 for the first time last month. Munich is his first clay-court event of the year after withdrawing from Barcelona last week.
