Bio Donald Oliver Young, Jr. is an American professional tennis player.

In 2001 he came in second to Jesse Levine in the U.S. Clay Court 14 Nationals in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He was up 5-love in the third set of the final. Young had lost the first set, won the second, and was winning 5–0 and serving for the match at 40–15. They were already bringing in the table for the trophy presentation, when Levine ran off an astonishing 23 consecutive points, to defeat Young 7–5 in the third.

In 2003, Young won the Orange Bowl 16-under title (defeating Thron), becoming the first American to win that age division title since Jim Courier in 1986.

He turned professional in 2004, but mostly played Futures and Challenger events. Due to the slow start, his handlers were often criticized for pushing him too fast during the early stages.

In 2004, Young reached the Orange Bowl 18-under final (l. to Neilly). He won the Easter Bowl 14s and 18s titles in 2003 and 2004 and was named as Davis Cup practice partner for the quarterfinal tie against Spain in 2007.

Young was, for a period of time in 2005, ranked the No. 1 junior player in the world. Young was the youngest male to win a Grand Slam event, winning the Australian Open Junior Championships in 2005, a record he held until the Australian Open in 2008, when Bernard Tomic won the event 2 months younger than Young. Young also won the U.S. Open Junior Doubles Championship with Alex Clayton.

In 2005, he became the youngest year-end World No. 1 in junior rankings at 16 years, 5 months (one month younger than Richard Gasquet in 2002). Young won the Australian Open junior title at age 15 to become youngest-ever and first African-American man to be ranked No. 1 in the world. He was also the first American to win the Australian junior title and finish No. 1 since Andy Roddick in 2000. He advanced to the semi finals at Wimbledon and quarterfinals at the US Open in 2005. In doubles, Young won the junior US Open title (with Clayton) and reached the final at the Australian Open (with Thiemo De Bakker). In 2007, he won the Wimbledon junior title and was the first American to win since Scott Humphries in 1994. As No. 1, Young won the Kalamazoo U.S. Junior Championships in 2006, after Jesse Levine forfeited in the finals due to food poisoning.
