Protester’s ‘we have 1028 days left’ countdown runs out in hours – what will happen?
I just watched ESPN's #30for30 documentary on the tennis career of #MichaelChang, who won the #FrenchOpen at age 17 by beating Ivan Lendl (the #1 rated male tennis player at the time) in the 4th round en route to winning the tournament.
Chang became the 1st Asian American sports icon (long before #JeremyLin) & the documentary provides some important insights into his rise to fame as a professional tennis player. like the letter of advice he received from #ArthurAshe when he decided to turn pro at just 15.
Chang played when other legendary players like, Agassi, Sampras, Becker, McEnroe & Federer were also on the scene.
Tough competition.
Nonetheless, Chang has a 662-312 career record with 34 career titles & a Davis Cup win to his credit & was elected to the International Tennis HOF in 2008.
Chang became very popular in China in the 90's & is credited w/helping to spread the popularity of the game & the playing of professional tennis tournaments in Asia.
