Early life


Hampton was born in Frankfurt, West Germany, because her father, a career US Army officer, was stationed in Germany at the time. Her mother is from South Korea. Soon after, the family moved to the United States. She lived in Enterprise, Alabama, until she was 13; then, she moved to Auburn, Alabama and trained with tennis coach Geoff Waring in Montgomery, Alabama.[1] Before graduating from Auburn High School in 2008, Hampton twice won the USTA Girls’ 18s doubles title.[2] Hampton turned pro in 2009, playing her first US Open in 2010.[3]

Next, Hampton played in Memphis International where she beat defending champion Magdaléna Rybáriková in the first round but then fell to Vera Dushevina.

She then received a wildcard into the Indian Wells Open where she made it into the fourth round before having to retire due to cramping against Agnieszka Radwańska, having defeated former champion Jelena Janković in the second round en route. Hampton had to go through qualifying to play in the Miami Open, and then lost in the first round to Polona Hercog, whom she had beaten earlier at Indian Wells. Her next tournament was the Charleston Cup. She beat compatriot Sloane Stephens but then lost to US Open champion Samantha Stosur in the second round.

While struggling with back injuries during the clay court season, Hampton lost in qualifying at the Italian Open and Internationaux de Strasbourg. She was forced to retire in the first round of the French Open against Arantxa Rus due to an injury.
