'''Michael Te-pei Chang''' (born February 22, 1972) is an American former professional [[tennis]] player and coach. He was ranked world No. 2 by the [[Association of Tennis Professionals]] (ATP) in 1996. Chang is the youngest man in history to win a singles [[Grand Slam (tennis)#Tournaments|major]], winning the [[1989 French Open – Men's singles|1989 French Open]] at 17 years and 109 days old. He won a total of 34 [[ATP Tour]]-level singles titles, including seven [[ATP Tour Masters 1000|Masters]] titles, and was a three-time major runner-up. 

Chang was inducted into the [[International Tennis Hall of Fame]] in 2008. He began coaching [[Kei Nishikori]] in 2014.

After moving from Hoboken to [[St. Paul, Minnesota]], where he learned tennis, Chang and his family moved first to [[Placentia, California]], and then to [[Encinitas, California]], to increase the tennis opportunities for him and his older brother, Carl. Growing up, Chang learned some Chinese from his Taiwanese parents and can speak [[Mandarin Chinese|Mandarin]].<ref>{{Cite web|last=Finn|first=Jackie|title=ASIAN-AMERICAN SPOTLIGHT: MICHAEL CHANG|url=https://www.usta.com/en/home/stay-current/national/asian-american-spotlight--michael-chang.html|date=May 30, 2017}}</ref> Betty quit her job as a chemist to travel with Chang on tour.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.seattlepi.com/sports/article/Former-tennis-champ-Chang-crafted-for-service-1146981.php#page-2 |title=Former tennis champ Chang crafted for service |newspaper=Seattle Post-Intelligencer |date=June 10, 2004 |first=Janny |last=Hu |access-date=September 11, 2014 }}</ref> After rising to #163 in the world as a 15-year-old amateur, Chang dropped out of tenth grade at [[San Dieguito Academy|San Dieguito High School]] in Encinitas to pursue a professional tennis career. He received his [[General Educational Development|GED]] in February 1988.

==Tennis career==
===Junior===
Chang first came to the tennis world's attention at age 12 as an outstanding junior player who set numerous "youngest-ever" records.<ref name="auto1">{{Cite web|url=https://www.tennismajors.com/atp/september-1-1987-the-day-15-year-old-michael-chang-became-the-youngest-male-player-in-the-open-era-to-win-a-match-at-the-us-open-472217.html|title=Michael Chang becomes the youngest male player in the Open era to win a match at the US Open|date=September 1, 2022|website=Tennis Majors}}</ref><ref name=Hall>{{Cite web|url=https://www.tennisfame.com/hall-of-famers/inductees/michael-chang |title=Michael Chang |website=www.tennisfame.com |date=17 October 2023}}</ref> At age 12 he also won his first national title, the USTA Junior Hard Court singles.

Chang was introduced to tennis by his father Joe, who was his first coach. During his rise in 1989 (including his French Open title), he was coached by [[José Higueras]]. For much of his professional career, he was coached by his older brother [[Carl Chang (tennis player)|Carl Chang]], who also played in several doubles tournaments with him in the early 1990s.

Chang's success marked the start of an era in which a new generation of American players—which also included [[Pete Sampras]], [[Jim Courier]], and [[Andre Agassi]]—would come to dominate the game.<ref name="espn2009">{{Cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/sports/tennis/french09/columns/story?columnist=garber_greg&id=4174250 |title=What Michael Chang's 1989 French Open Title Meant |publisher=ESPN  |date=May 19, 2009 |access-date=May 17, 2011}}</ref>

===Professional===
On 1 September 1987, at age 15, Chang became the youngest player to win a main draw match at the [[U.S. Open (tennis)|US Open]] when he defeated [[Paul McNamee]] in four sets (6–3, 6–7, 6–4, 6-4) in the first round.<ref name="auto1"/><ref name=Hall/> A month later, he reached the semifinals at [[Scottsdale, Arizona]], to become the youngest player to reach the semifinal stage of a top-level professional tournament.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.atptour.com/en/scores/archive/scottsdale/433/1987/draws  |title=1987 Las Vegas - Draws |website=www.atptour.com |access-date=17 October 2023 }}</ref> 

In 1988, aged 16 years and seven months, he won his first top-level singles title at San Francisco, defeating [[Johan Kriek]] in the final.<ref name=Hall/> During his title run, Chang registered a 6-4, 6-0 win over [[Mikael Pernfors]], the [[1986 French Open – Men's singles|1986 French Open]] finalist who just the previous week had beaten [[Andre Agassi]] in the finals of Los Angeles.<ref name=day/>

====1989 French Open====
Chang's most significant "youngest-ever" record came in 1989 when he won the [[French Open (tennis)|French Open]] at the age of {{Age in years and days|1972|02|22|1989|06|12}}, to become the youngest male player ever to win a Grand Slam title.<ref name=Hall/> He defeated [[Stefan Edberg]] in a five-set final, 6–1, 3–6, 4–6, 6–4, 6–2.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/4550743/2023/05/26/michael-chang-french-open-1989-interview/|title=Michael Chang, youngest French Open champ, reflects on Paris 1989, Asian pride and more|first=Damon|last=Sayles|website=The Athletic}}</ref> Chang thus became the first American man to win the French Open since [[Tony Trabert]] in 1955, and the first American man to win a Grand Slam since 1984.<ref name=Hall/> Chang's 1989 French Open tournament performance is equally remembered for overcoming significant cramps during an epic fourth-round encounter with [[Ivan Lendl]], who was then the world's No. 1-ranked player, reigning Australian Open champion, and a three-time former French Open champion.<ref name=Hall/><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.rolandgarros.com/en-us/article/rg-archives-epic-match-chang-lendl-1989-fourth-round |title=One day, one epic match: Chang - Lendl (4th round 1989) |website=www.rolandgarros.com |date=31 May 2020 |access-date=17 October 2023 }}</ref>

In 1988, Chang had been easily beaten by Lendl in an exhibition match held in [[Des Moines]], [[Iowa]]. After the match, Lendl advised Chang, "First off, you've got no serve. And you've certainly got no second serve. You can't hurt me. You can run but you better develop a weapon to survive out here", all weaknesses that Chang worked to improve on.<ref name="inspired">{{Cite web|url=http://www.tennis.com/pro-game/2015/08/1989-michael-changs-inspired-and-inspiring-french-open-victory/55424/|title = 1989: Michael Chang's inspired and inspiring French Open victory |website=Tennis.com |last=Tignor |first=Steve |date=August 20, 2015}}</ref> 

At the 1989 French Open, Lendl appeared to be on the way to beating Chang after taking the first two sets 6–4, 6–4 and breaking Chang's serve in his opening service game of the third set. However, Chang broke back immediately and went on to claim the third set, 6–3. During the fourth set, Chang experienced a severe attack of leg [[cramp]]s, and though he won the set to level the match, he considered retiring from the match while up 2–1 in the fifth set. He later said that he felt "an unbelievable conviction in my heart" not to give up, and decided to finish the match.<ref>Archived at [https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211212/0Bh0OZXyC_M Ghostarchive]{{cbignore}} and the [https://web.archive.org/web/20160414130902/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Bh0OZXyC_M Wayback Machine]{{cbignore}}: {{Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Bh0OZXyC_M |title=EuroCup Of Legends – Michael Chang |work=Youtube |date=June 12, 2009 |access-date=May 17, 2011}}{{cbignore}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/24/sports/tennis/chang-returns-to-site-of-a-singular-triumph-with-a-protege.html |title=Michael Chang Returns to French Open, With a Protégé |newspaper=The New York Times |date=May 23, 2014 |first=Christopher |last=Clarey |access-date=September 11, 2014 }}</ref> Chang adopted some unusual tactics in an attempt to overcome his cramps. Those tactics included hitting shots high into the air (known as "moon balls") to slow the match down and going for more winners in order to shorten the points.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/sports/tennis/french09/columns/story?columnist=garber_greg&id=4173388 |title=Michael Chang's 89 French Open Title More Than A Fond Memory |publisher=ESPN  |date=May 19, 2009 |access-date=May 17, 2011}}</ref> The success of these tactics caused the normally unfazed Lendl to lose his rhythm and also prompted him to swear at the umpire and the crowd, especially after losing a key point in the fifth set when Chang shocked him by delivering an under-arm serve.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.ina.fr/sport/tennis/video/I05272465/huitieme-de-finale-a-roland-garros-service-a-la-cuillere-de-chang.fr.html|title=Under-arm serve (fr)}}</ref> On match point, Chang stood just behind the service line while waiting to receive Lendl's second serve, a move that was considered suicidal. The tactic worked as the crowd became bemused which in turn caused Lendl to lose his cool and produce a double-fault on his second serve, giving Chang the victory, 4–6, 4–6, 6–3, 6–3, 6–3, in 4 hours and 37 minutes.<ref>{{cite web |title=One day, one epic match: Chang - Lendl (4th round 1989) |url=https://www.rolandgarros.com/en-us/article/rg-archives-epic-match-chang-lendl-1989-fourth-round |publisher=Roland Garros |access-date=3 August 2025}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=1989: Michael Chang's inspired and inspiring French Open victory |url=https://www.tennis.com/news/articles/1989-michael-chang-s-inspired-and-inspiring-french-open-victory |publisher=Tennis.com |access-date=3 August 2025}}</ref>

Chang subsequently defeated [[Ronald Agénor]] in the quarter-final and [[Andrei Chesnokov]] in the semi-final. Then seven days after his match against Lendl, after beating [[Stefan Edberg]] in five sets, Chang went on to lift the ''[[Coupe des Mousquetaires]]'', becoming the youngest Grand Slam men's singles champion history.<ref name="espn2009"/><ref>{{Cite magazine|url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/tennis/1999/french_open/news/1999/05/22/tenyears_changfrench/index.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20000819053640/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/tennis/1999/french_open/news/1999/05/22/tenyears_changfrench/index.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=August 19, 2000 |title=He'll always have Paris: Michael Chang reflects on crowning moment |magazine=Sports Illustrated  |date=May 22, 1999 |access-date=May 17, 2011}}</ref> Chang became the first American man to win the French Open since Tony Trabert in 1955,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.jacksonville.com/story/sports/tennis/2018/07/06/sam-kouvaris-wimbledon-most-memorable-for-tony-trabert/11571455007/|title=Sam Kouvaris: Wimbledon the most memorable for Tony Trabert|website=The Florida Times-Union}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2021/feb/07/tony-trabert-obituary|title=Tony Trabert obituary|first=Richard|last=Evans|date=February 7, 2021|newspaper=The Guardian}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.tennisfame.com/hall-of-famers/inductees/tony-trabert|title=International Tennis Hall of Fame|website=www.tennisfame.com}}</ref> and the first American man to win a Grand Slam since 1984.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Jenkins |first=Sally |date=1989-06-12 |title=CHANG WINS FRENCH OPEN OVER EDBERG |language=en-US |newspaper=Washington Post |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1989/06/12/chang-wins-french-open-over-edberg/b4b0f5c6-1449-484f-899f-aff50c9c010a/ |access-date=2023-08-16 |issn=0190-8286}}</ref> In August 1989, Chang became the youngest player to be ranked in the world's top 5.

Chang's match against Lendl was played on June 5, 1989, just one day after the height of the [[Tiananmen Square Massacre]]. Chang has frequently noted the impact of the massacre when recalling his French Open victory:
  
{{blockquote|A lot of people forget that Tiananmen Square was going on. The crackdown that happened was on the middle Sunday at the French Open, so if I was not practicing or playing a match, I was glued to the television, watching the events unfold...I often tell people I think it was God's purpose for me to be able to win the French Open the way it was won because I was able to put a smile on Chinese people's faces around the world at a time when there wasn't much to smile about.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2009-may-12-sp-crowe12-story.html |title=Quitting was an option for Michael Chang |newspaper=LA Times |date=May 25, 2003 |access-date=May 17, 2011}}</ref>}}

Chang would defeat Lendl again in near-duplicate fashion, 2–6, 4–6, 6–4, 7–6 (7–5), 9–7 in a 4-hour, 42-minute semi-final match at the [[Grand Slam Cup]] on December 14, 1991.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1991-12-15-sp-823-story.html|title=Chang Comes Back Against Lendl, Faces Wheaton in Munich Final|date=December 15, 1991|website=Los Angeles Times}}</ref>

====Top five ranked player====
Chang met Edberg in the semifinals of the US Open in 1992; this time, Edberg won in five sets, 6–7, 7–5, 7–6, 5–7, 6–4. The five-hour, 26-minute match is the second longest in US Open history.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.barrons.com/news/this-will-hurt-says-sinner-after-5-hour-15-minute-defeat-01662623107|title='This Will Hurt,' Says Sinner After 5-hour 15-minute Defeat|first=AFP-Agence France|last=Presse|website=www.barrons.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.tennismajors.com/our-features/september-12-1992-the-day-stefan-edberg-beat-michael-chang-in-the-longest-ever-us-open-match-288974.html|title=September 12, 1992: The day Stefan Edberg beat Michael Chang in the longest ever US Open match|date=September 12, 2022|website=Tennis Majors}}</ref> Chang reached three further Grand Slam finals after his 1989 French Open triumph, losing the 1995 French Open final to [[Thomas Muster]], the 1996 Australian Open final to [[Boris Becker]], and the 1996 US Open final to Pete Sampras. In the 1995 French Open, he defeated [[Michael Stich]] and then two-time defending champion [[Sergi Bruguera]] in the semifinals in straight sets, eventually losing to Muster. In both the 1996 Australian and U.S. Opens, he defeated Andre Agassi in the semifinals in straight sets; a win over Sampras at the U.S. Open would have made Chang the no. 1 player in the world. In the 1997 U.S. Open, he was the odds-on favorite to win after Sampras was upset by [[Petr Korda]]; however, Chang lost to eventual champion [[Patrick Rafter]] in the semifinals in straight sets.

Chang was the first player to be beaten by [[Roger Federer]] in the main draw of a Grand Slam tournament, at the [[2000 Australian Open – Men's singles|2000 Australian Open]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2009-jun-07-sp-french-fyi7-story.html|title=Roger Federer's chance at history arrives Sunday|first=Chuck|last=Culpepper|date=June 7, 2009|website=Los Angeles Times}}</ref> He was also the second player to be beaten by [[Andy Roddick]] in the main draw of a Grand Slam tournament, in [[2001 French Open – Men's singles#Section 4|the second round of the French Open in 2001]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.thesundayleader.lk/2012/09/09/andy-roddick-the-agony-and-the-ecstasy-of-a-great-career/ |title=Andy Roddick – The Agony And The Ecstasy Of A Great Career |work=The Sunday Leader |date=September 9, 2012}}</ref>

Chang retired from the professional tour in 2003. During his career, he won a total of 34 top-level professional singles titles. His final top-level title was won in 2000 at Los Angeles. His total career prize-money earnings was US$19,145,632. His career-high singles ranking was world no. 2 in 1996, following his US Open finals performance. He was a year-end top-ten player for six consecutive years in the 1990s (1992–1997), a feat matched in the decade only by [[Pete Sampras]]. He is one of a few players to win ATP titles in three different decades. His three [[Indian Wells Masters]] titles was an ATP record which stood for 15 years, before being eclipsed by [[Roger Federer]] in 2012.

===International play===
Chang was a key member of the US team which won the [[Davis Cup]] in 1990. In the semifinals in Austria, his dramatic comeback from two-sets down against [[Horst Skoff]], 3–6, 6–7, 6–4, 6–4, 6–3, led the US into its first Davis Cup final since 1984.<ref>{{Cite web|author=Curry Kirkpatrick |url=http://vault.sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1136406/1/index.htm |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120903235142/http://vault.sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1136406/1/index.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=September 3, 2012 |title=Michael Chang's five-set win lifted the U.S. over Austria in Davis Cup play |publisher=[[Sports Illustrated]] |date=October 1, 1990 |access-date=May 17, 2011}}</ref> Chang went on to defeat [[Darren Cahill]] in straight sets, as the US defeated Australia in the final. He was also on the US team which won the [[World Team Cup]] in 1993. His best performance in the year-end singles championship came in 1995, when he defeated Muster, [[Jim Courier]], and then dominated [[Pete Sampras]] in the semifinals, before losing in the final to [[Boris Becker]].

Chang represented the US in the [[1992 Summer Olympics]] in Barcelona, reaching the second round before being eliminated by [[Jaime Oncins]]. He chose to skip the [[1996 Summer Olympics]] despite the fact that the event was held in Atlanta and that he would have been the tournament's number-one seed (the singles' gold medal was won by [[Andre Agassi]]). Chang participated in the [[2000 Summer Olympics]] in Sydney, where he was eliminated in the first round by [[Sébastien Lareau]].
