Michael Chang (alias: The Man MC) - fan tribute site for the Chinese American tennis player

1999 Salem Open, Hong Kong
Tues. April 6 report by Haily Ho

hmm, just got back from the court tonight. What a relief cuz mike did advanced to the second round of Salem open. The court was pretty much full house because of The appearance of Chang. Mike had a fairly easy first set as he won 6-1. At The second set, his opponent Czech d. vacek started to play better but it wasn't enough for him to break chang. Actually, he kept on complaining The linesmen At court, saying that those people 'were cheating' there! Oh well! :) anyway, mike won The second set 6-4. When The match finished, The Czech was very frustrated & refused to shake hands w/ mike. He totally lacked sportsmanship, that's why The crowd boo him. :) Also, some kids stampeded into The court & ran into mike to get his autographs. As always, mike pleased most The fans plus The innocent kids out inside The court.

Anyway, no match for him tomorrow. But other big names should play like agassi, becker, rafter, Krajicek, Fereirra etc. like a mini-grand slam field I would say.
