My Take
What stays with me about Michael Chang is not the records but the will behind them. Winning the French Open at seventeen, cramping and improvising an underhand serve, told you everything: here was a player who refused to lose even when his body quit. At 175 cm he was undersized for the era, yet climbing to world No. 2 proves he out-thought opponents rather than overpowering them. I admire that quiet, cerebral grit. His move into coaching feels like a natural extension of a man who always studied the game closely. Hall of Fame status is no surprise; the character behind it impresses me even more.
