Michael Chang

Holding Serve, Michael Chang
I've jus read the biography of Michael Chang. Michael Chang story was very heart warming to me. It states that the Chang family have been so poor when Michael was young. The family had to scrimp and save in order for michael and his brother to play tennis. Michael had to overcome cramps and mental strength in order to win his 1st and only grand slam. As he had suffered badly from cramps while playing top players like Ivan Lendle and Stefan Edberg, he had to play smart. All types of shots like the underhand and going up to the service line came up in order to win the tournament. It was such an emotional win for him and his family as he became the youngest ever player to win the French Open. Though i was disappointed that he chose to play for America rather than Taiwan or China, but i would never blame him. Who ask him to be Simon's inspirational player. But overall the book was good except that it had too much of the cristianity going around.
