About 2013, my doubles partner Rick and I won the men’s open doubles at the Michael Chang charity tournament in Bellevue and Michael not only sponsored the event, he came out to the court for the finals, with like zero people watching, checked the net height, opened the new can of balls for us, and did the coin toss. As Michael said, “Heads or tails,” Rick and I basically just paused, smiled and looked at each other like, “Wow, this guy’s pretty cool.” Took pics with us later and handed us our prize. Nice guy.

Really cool

I play with a 2000 Michael Chang Prince Longbody to this day. What a great racquet, endorsed by a GREAT player: Michael Chang

Chang was an amazing athlete. High tennis IQ and he worked so hard.

Keeping it classy as ever with the very relevant thumbnail, classic ATP

He will forever be one of my favorites!

Indian Wells Masters Series 1996, 1997, Michael won the singles both years and won $320,000 and $337,000. We, actually Casey Maus, our top stringer, strung 52 rackets during the 1996 event for Michael. The five of us Star Stringing Tournament Stringers strung 1200 rackets for the ATP and WTA players that event. I strung 108 rackets and more importantly, I got 52 autographs and got a Pete Sampras match used racket! We charged $15 labor back then. Carl, Michael’s brother, came into the stringers trainer and told us that if the gut string tension is one pound too loose, the ball flies 6 inches long. If it’s one pound too tight, the ball lands 6 inches too short.

I got to spend 5 days with Michael Chang in January 1989 in Boca Raton, Florida at the St. Andrews Country Club training with Jared Palmer and Michael with USTA National Coach Brian Gottfried. Michael was a gentleman and was awesome on the Har-Tru clay courts against Jared. Four months later Michael won the French Open. Michael had completely different serve footwork back then, landing on his back foot. Changed it to front foot soon after. Jared did pretty well too, later winning Wimbledon, Australian Open in doubles and US Open in mixed. Me? I was slightly less successful.

You still a Legend if you were able to play with them at their Primes. I'm sure everyone had different trails they travel to get to that point.

Chang has to be one of the fastest player ever...amazing foot work and speed...

Didn't get to watch Chang near as much as I would've liked...so much drive...reminds me of a friend I knew as a kid, good man.

my fav player when i was a kid.... so fast on the court and covers the court really well... unbelievable athlete..

One of my faves.

Really enjoyed watching Chang played

Time flies fast. He is now a 50 yr. old.

Michael “chimpy” Chang was my nickname for him when I played tennis as a youth. Our discussions of talking about ATP pros would arise, I’d refer to him as “Chimpy Chang”. Because he’s like a chimpanzee running around the court, full of robust energy

Kafelnikov and Kuerten were his nemesis

🖤 🇨🇳 🎾 💨

you at least need a high school diploma? Wow his parents must have really believed in him with full support

That's Michael Chang today, Bold Headed Chinese with Stucky Legs. UNIQLO sponsored from JPN, he is still getting $$$. He will buy .99 cents CHINESE FOODS for another 100 years.
