...wonder. But Michael Chang seemed to grasp more than just the moment when he beat Ivan Lendl and Stefan Edberg in Paris to join the company of world-champion tennis players. Chang was wise enough to understand, "These two weeks are going to stay with me the rest of my life," but excited enough to imagine, "Maybe someday I'll be able to achieve something greater." More than a few days later, the sport is still tingling with his possibilities...
