Coming from the juniors as a 15-year-old, Michael Chang charged onto the international tennis scene setting numerous "youngest player records" and shocked the world by upsetting Ivan Lendl and Stefan Egberg in the French Open to become the youngest player in history to win a Grand Slam event. Utilizing tremendous speed and strong determination, Chang was one of the best counter punchers of all time and remained in the Top 10 in the ATP world rankings for several years in the 1990s. Chang retired from the professional tour in 2003 but continues to play at the senior level.
His stunning victory at Roland Garros continues to resonate within the golf world today, as Chang was recently featured on CNN where he reminisced on the 23-year anniversary of his historic win.
