Episode Notes
In 1989, 17-year old Michael Chang won the 1989 Roland Garros men's singles title and became youngest man in history to win a singles major. He also became the first Asian American to win a Grand Slam title.
Our hosts talk to Michael about "being the first" and representing the Asian American community when there was not much representation on the tennis court or in main stream media.
