(From Agence France Presse)
Michael Chang, who is set to retire after the US Open, is looking get more involved in promoting tennis in Asia.
With his retirement less than two months away, the former French Open champion said he has been approached by tennis people in Hong Kong, Taiwan and mainland China.
"There are opportunities. But if we go over there we want to do something that is first class," said said the 31-year-old Chinese-American.
"I would also like to do something in Thailand. I tease Paradorn (Srichaphan) about going there to play an exhibition. I have never played in Thailand."
Chang, whose parents are from China, said he doesn't plan to do a lot of exhibition matches after he hangs up his racquet.
"When you retire you generally don't want to play a bunch of matches, but we will see," said Chang.
