Chang's tenacity and guts was the physical victory, but what really won it for him was getting into Lendl's brain. Lendl just blew it, letting "bad" calls bug him, and in the end, letting Chang totally dominate him mentally. Lendl was a puppet out there at the end, while Chang, in lock down survival mode, pulled out every trick and threw his fate to the wind. This was a totally historic tennis match. I watched it back in '89, and it's a real treat to see it again.

I'm of a different opinion. I do agree Lendl's mind was all over the place. He was complaining about the court conditions, irritated that Chang challenged a call early on and also took a long bathroom break, and maybe a bit at the fans for jeering. I just can't help to wonder if Lendl felt sorry for Michael and took it easy on him when Michael came down with the lengthy cramps in the 4th and 5th set. Michael was in a lot of pain and could only moonball the ball back, yet Lendl didn't use that opportunity to pounce on it for easy winners. Instead, Lendl gently loft the ball back to him each and every time. In the 5th set, Michael also cost Lendl a game or two by using the time between Lendl's serves to drink a gallon of water and stretching. Lendl had to wait for him even though he's the one serving. I feel that Michael owed Lendl one. If a player is injured or is hurting, the expectation is that in good faith, he should retire from the match.. because It's not fair to the opponent to play when you're hurt. Michael was young here, being only 17 years old and inexperienced at the time, so can't blame him either for wanting to play and pursue his first slam. Nice to see Lendl being a good sport and the umpire too for letting Michael use as much time he needed to reset for each play. After this match, Lendl was a class act. Instead of whining about Michael's continuance on playing, he took the high road and told the press that Michael showed him a lot of courage out there and he understood how tough it was for Michael to play through cramps. Had that been McEnroe or Connors instead of Michael, Lendl wouldn't be as considerate.

When i watched this match, i was 18 years old. Lendl at that time was the world nr1. And Michael Chang was 17 years old, and won the French open by beaten Stefan Edberg in final. But the biggest surprise was this match. And everybody who watch this match, do understand. A 17 year old boy playing Ivan Lendl, who is the world nr1. It was 0-2 in sets for Lendl. But it was this young boy by the name Michael Chang who finaly won that match. Chang never became nr1. His highest atp ranking was nr2. But Chang was a top 5 player for a long time. 1996 he was runner-up at the Australian open, and later the same year also runner-up at the US open.

The reward of the French Open title against Edberg was just icing on the cake.

True on both counts. I'm not a Kyrgios fan at all, but I absolutely believe the dropshot or underhand serve is totally legit. If you stand 30' behind the baseline for a tactical advantage, you can't complain when someone counters it. Also, I'm pretty sure Lendl did it to McEnroe in the early 80's.

Despite appearing totally dehydrated and cramping, Michael stayed calm, used his intelligence , wisdom, and skill to defeat Lendl.- 99% of the time players in this condition are not able to think straight, let alone hold a racket and move. This says a whole lot about Michael Chang. "winning beautifully!"

We didn't know it at the time, but this match was the end of Ivan Lendl's 5-year run as the world's most dominant tennis player. Lendl was a guy who, in his prime, almost never let winnable matches slip out of his grasp. Outside of Wimbledon, where he could get served-and-volleyed off the lightning-fast courts, Lendl was basically an untouchable Terminator from FO '84 until FO '89. Even today i'm still disappointed that we didn't get to see a Lendl-Edberg French Open final.

At the time, Lendl was not very much liked (in Western Europe), so I was rooting for Chang and could not believe what was happening. (Today, I very much regret my dislike of Lendl. I find him the most interesting and indeed entertaining of all the 80s tennis heroes.)

​@Lydon Mika But he played top spin on his backhand all the time, watch the video. He mixed it up with some slices, but most of the time it was top spin. I think the OP pretty much summed it up: Lendl did nothing to win. He was the player with more powerful ground strokes, but when you watch the 5th set, he was merely pushing the ball over the net, rarely finishing a rally with a powerful stroke. Remarkably, that's what the supposedly weaker Chang did - he had a 14-6 edge over Lendl in terms of winners in that 5th set! Edberg played a simlarly dismal 5th set in the final, amassing 24 UEs out of his 62 in the entire match (twice as many as Chang, and six times as many as Chang in the 5th set). So it was an incredible effort by Chang, but his opponents also helped him a lot.

History made that year by Michael Chang. Coming back from severe cramp in this match to beat the world number 1 at the time and then go onto to win his first and only Grand Slam at Roland Garros. To become and remain to this day the youngest male grand slam champion and also in the context of the Tiananmen square Massacre. Truly historic.

1989 was a really long time ago. Soviet Union still existed back then. Chang's family is from Taiwan so Tiananmen had nothing to do with him really.

I don't understand why Lendl complained so much. During his playing days, I always saw as this sour jerk who was always mad at everyone. But I have watched a bunch of interviews with him of the years, and he is a very funny intelligent guy that I love to listen to. Chang was just awesome this tournament and it seemed that all his opponents just got caught up in what Chang was doing and couldn't seem to figure out what to do. Legendary. And Chang is a very nice humble guy. Can't help but love him.

Most famous players are better than Chang who was never number 1 and only won one grand slam tournament in his career, but he was still so darn good. One of the best number 2 players ever if you can say such a thing.

I disagree. This was a changing og the guard. Lendl's technique and racket were antiquated. Chang, with more modern equipment, basically plays what would become modern claycourt tennis, except for the moon balls. Playing with topspin, Taking the ball early, finishing points off at the net when possible.

In less than one hour, Lendl was up 2-0 after winning. 6-4 6-4. I watched this live and basically left to go shoot some baskets thinking it was all over. 😂 I then at some food and came back and was like wtf they still playing? 😂 Then seeing Michael Chang cramp up I was like ugh it’s over. Think he was serving underhand too. Just amazing never give up attitude. Like Rocky not going down.
