THE BIG T AT RG: DROPSHOT EDITION — Special Guest Michael Chang

Brad Gilbert sits down with tennis legend Michael Chang for a deep, wide-ranging conversation recorded right here at the venue where history was made 37 years ago. As a 17-year-old, Chang stunned the sports world at this very address in 1989, becoming the youngest Grand Slam champion in history. A record that has stood for 37 years. Rafa couldn't break it. Alcaraz couldn't break it. Nobody has.

BG takes Chang all the way back — the clay, the cramps, the underhand serve against the No. 1 player in the world, and the question nobody had an answer to: why didn't you quit? They go deep on the three Grand Slam finals Chang couldn't close, the six straight years inside the Top 10, and the long road back to the game he loved. And then there's the future: Learner Tien — the 20-year-old Chang is now coaching, and one of the most exciting young players in the game today.

What does Chang see in him? How much of a young Michael Chang does he recognize? And the big one — are we ever going to see an American win Roland Garros again?
