New York, Sep 02: Michael Chang, who retired after his first-round loss at the US Open, will be honoured by the USTA tonight between matches at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
Chang played for 16 years and was the youngest winner of a grand slam event when he won the French Open in 1989 at the age of 17. Two years earlier, he was the youngest player ever to win a match at the US Open.
Chang won 34 career singles titles and was runner-up in three other slams - the 1995 French Open, the 1996 Australian open and 1996 US Open.
The USTA held a similar ceremony honouring Pete Sampras on the first night of the open.
