Big names seeking to promote China's tennis education
Increased interest among Chinese fans in both ATP and WTA tournaments is attracting a growing number of big tennis names to the country. But these world tennis stars aren't eyeing the points, trophies or prize money, they're looking to further China's tennis education by using their fame and experience to teach the next generation.
Hot on the heels of being named the International Tennis Hall of Fame's new global ambassador on Tuesday, Chinese-American tennis legend Michael Chang announced his plans to help the nation's young hopefuls become world-class players.
The 45-year-old, who won 34 top-level professional singles titles including the 1989 French Open when he was just 17, revealed on Wednesday at the China Open that he has partnered with tennis education startup the Love Tennis Academy, becoming the company's ambassador.
