BG 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. Then BG and Petko reunite in the booth to break down the day's biggest moments and set the table for what's coming tomorrow. Iga Swiatek survives. Novak grinds through. And in the day's biggest shock, Elena Rybakina falls to Yulia Starodubtseva — while Hailey Baptiste's tournament ends in heartbreak with a serious injury on court. But the centerpiece of Day Four is Michael Chang — the 17-year-old who 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? Plus — don't miss tomorrow's American showdown: Iva Jovic vs. Emma Navarro, first on Tennis Channel. 🎾 The legend of '89 — back at the scene of the miracle 🎾 The youngest Grand Slam champion in history. 37 years and counting. 🎾 The cramps, the underhand serve, and why he never quit 🎾 Three Grand Slam finals.
