Jason Jung (Chinese: 莊吉生; pinyin: Zhuāng Jíshēng; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Chng Kit-seng; Taiwanese Mandarin: [tswáŋ tɕǐ sə́ŋ]; born 15 June 1989) is an American-born Taiwanese and inactive professional tennis player who represents the team Chinese Taipei. He has a career high ATP singles ranking of world No. 114 achieved on 30 July 2018 and has won four ATP Challenger titles. Jung has attended the University of Michigan.

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.^[1]

He blogs about his experiences and his life as a professional tennis player.^[2] 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.^[3]

Jung's reached his first quarterfinal at the 2018 Hall of Fame Tennis Championships in Newport, Rhode Island. He defeated veteran Nicolas Mahut in the second round, but his run was ended by Tim Smyczek, who outlasted Jung 6–1, 5–7, 6–4 in a nearly two-hour, 185-point quarterfinal match.^[4]

His career-best result is a semifinal berth at the 2020 New York Open, where he defeated former champion and former world No. 5 Kevin Anderson in the first round,^[5] followed by seventh seed Cameron Norrie in the second, before upsetting defending champion and third seed Reilly Opelka in the quarterfinals. He was eliminated in the semifinals by Italian veteran Andreas Seppi in straight sets.^[6]
