Chung Hyeon has made history by becoming the first South Korean to reach a grand slam semi-final at the Australian Open, becoming a hero to spectacle-wearers the world over in the process.
His glasses, on display during his three-set victory over Tennys Sandgren on Wednesday, are a result of astigmatism and have earned the 21-year-old the predictable nickname The Professor.
Here are some of the other sportspeople who have worn glasses to compete.
1. Edgar Davids
2. Daniel Vettori
3. Dennis Taylor
4. Martina Navratilova
5. Jacques Villeneuve
6. Eddie “The Eagle” Edwards
