Iconic Moments: Chang vs Lendl - Roland Garros 4th Round, 1989
During two unforgettable weeks in May and June of 1989, 17-year-old Michael Chang stunned the tennis world, becoming the youngest ever winner of a Grand Slam men's singles event and acting as a laxative to the blockage of American champions.
Along the path to this title, Chang would be involved in one of the most memorable matches in French Open history. His fourth-round victory over Ivan Lendl was a triumph of will and mind over body. Chang dug into every inch of his soul and streetwise fighting qualities to achieve a remarkable win.

Upsets happen all the time but the victors usually lose their very next match. What was most impressive about Chang is that he WON the French Open title, coming from behind in the finals to beat Edberg in five sets. Also, cool tidbit is that Chang served a not-quite-so-ready Pete Sampras a basket of breadsticks (1-1-1) in the second round.

@al2498 9 месяцев назад

I watched that game live on TV, was a tennis loving teenager. I could not at all understand how that was possible, why Lendl lost that match considering his capabilities. Only TODAY I know where mental strength, tactics and sheer will is able to get you.

Truth is regardless of the level it's never easy to play against someone having mild physical problems. First of all they usually play a slower Tennis and they drag you down to this slow rhythm. Then they suddenly accelerate (since their problem is mild) and catch you off balance. I think an experienced champion like Ivan knew that he was supposed to keep hammering every shot when Chang slowed things down but I also think he was starting to be way too much worn out because of the time spent on the court in the previous sets. Bottomline Lendl was failed by his physical condition that day, which simply was not as superb as it was needed against such a clever opponent

@zeddeka Год назад

This was almost an exact repeat of what happened to Lendl at the 1982 French Open when he also lost in the fourth round to a completely unknown 17 year old, Mats Wilander. In both matches he seemed to think that his young opponent would just collapse under the physical pressure.

@swalterstennis 2 года назад

I don’t want to say I had anything to do with it, but I did spend five days with Michael Chang, Jared Palmer and Brian Gottfried four months before this, January 1989, in Boca Raton, Florida, training Jared additionally while US National Team Coach Gottfried trained US #1 junior Palmer and rookie pro Chang 4-5 hours/day on the Har-Tru clay courts at The St. Andrews Country Club. I’m known for my devastating Magical Undie Banana underarm serve but I don’t remember doing it in front of Michael. Great for Michael. He made history this tournament. First American in 34 years to win the French Open.

@Jose-sy1je 5 месяцев назад

Lendl is considered to be one of the greatest ever. If courts and rackets had been what they are nowadays he would have been much more dominant. But the courts and rackets at that time favored different styles, which made tennis better than today.

@MikeB-1965 5 месяцев назад

The stars aligned for Chang in that tournament to allow him to win the tournament. Lendl beat himself in this match. Chang's cramps threw Lendl off and his level of play really dropped off. He just couldn't figure out how to adjust. Chang was fast and chased down a lot of balls which was his strength, but being on clay helped that a lot. Clay also didn't suit Edberg's game at all so Chang got balls back that he wouldn't have on other surfaces.

Not sure really how to view this match......whether Chang won it or Lendl lost it.........leaning more towards Lendl losing it....up 2 sets, I think he simply starting to take the outcome for granted....he also couldn't adjust or adapt to Chang's unorthodox tactics.......perhaps he learned to master his mental strength after this loss......I'm sure it still stings for him to this day as this goes down as one of the greatest examples of someone losing due to something other than someone being more skilled than you are............

I think Ivan is fearful of coming to the net. He could have blasted shots into the corners and taken the net position but unfortunately he's not confident in that. Now if he was, he could have wrapped up this match.

@Jeremy-f3s 2 месяца назад

The thing is the players get into such orthodox routines with their play it's not hard to undermine it if you just think outside the box and that's exactly what Chang did here. He could see Lendl was easily riled so just had to fuck about with him to throw him off. Martina Hingis used to serve underarms as well as did Kyrgios and I see nothing wrong with it if it's in the rules why not use it? Serving conventionally is a waste of time and energy if an underarm drop shot will work just as well and it keeps the opponent guessing.

Kudos to Chang! He improvised and Lendl did not adapt. The moonballs confused and frustrated Lendl---you could never do that to a guy like Nadal, he would run around the moonballs and smash forehand winners down the lines, make you run from side to side and burn you out. All Chang wanted was for Lendl to return the moonballs exactly like he did, right back to him. Brilliant.

@Icandoitifiwant 3 месяца назад

Why was Lendl complaining about Chang pulling up so close to the service line at the end on match point? He can stand where ever he wants. He should have just blasted it passed him. I couldn't figure out what Ivan's point was there at the end complaining.
