Michael Chang remains the youngest man to win a Grand Slam title following his historic triumph at Roland Garros in 1989. But, as he reveals in this episode of The Sit-Down, the Chinese-American often felt more at home on the North American hard courts, where he won titles in Toronto, Indian Wells and Cincinnati — the latter of which where he reached four consecutive finals and won twice. Now 52 years old and living in California, Chang sits down with Viv and Matt to reflect on his incredible career as a player and coach, and how buoyed he is by the current state of the game.
