PARIS, 1989–Michael Chang executes an underhand serve against Ivan Lendl in the fifth set of the French Open quarterfinals (as mentioned in the Jan. 27, 2008, podcast).

The move was one of many that Chang, then 17 and unseeded, used to break the World No. 1 player’s concentration. He went on to defeat Lendl, and Stefan Edberg after him, to claim the title.
