Lee, 24, is currently ranked 96 in the world, and, as a result, receives automatic entry into all Grand Slam tournaments, who take the top 104 as of right.

The change, Lee feels has come in his mental approach to the game: "It's tough to concentrate in matches, so I need more mental strength to be able to stay on top."

The aim for this year his first in the upper echelon world tennis is to consolidate his position among the elite and then push into the top 50 for next season.
