Dans le documentaire « Michael Chang, le fils de l'Amérique », en ligne sur L'Équipe explore, le tennisman sino-américain raconte son 8e de finale épique contre Ivan Lendl, première étape vers sa victoire de Roland-Garros à seulement 17 ans.
00:00I was up 4'3, I was down 15'30, my first serve was going literally 69 miles per hour, my first serve, and without much thought, I said, you know what, I have to try something different.
00:17No, I don't think I would have pulled off anything like that, it's really just a total mental mix-up for the opponent.
00:42That is one of the most significant shots ever hit in tennis, desperate, nothing to lose.
00:48A lot of people thought I would be mad at him for that, and no, that's fair game, he's trying to win.
01:05When you change position on returning, you can throw the server off his rhythm.
01:12It was not uncommon for me to move up on second serves, because I did it quite often in the juniors.
01:17And I said to myself, okay, well, this situation shouldn't be any different.
01:22One of the magic moments in the sport.
01:25Double foot, Michael Chang has won the match!
