michael chang inducted into tennis hall of fame

Michael Chang, the youngest man to win a Grand Slam event when he captured the French Open title in 1989 at age 17, inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame on Saturday: Michael Chang inducted into International Tennis Hall of Fame.

Looking back, when I was growing up, Michael Chang was definitely one of the most influential Asian American athletes of my generation. Because there really weren't many. But to see this 17-year-old Chinese American kid rise up and win a Grand Slam title? Awesome. He's a true pioneer in tennis, and it's a well-deserved honor.
