As a teenager he was featured on the cover of Newsweek magazine alongside Barack Obama. One of the most hyped American athletes of all time had a roller coaster of a career, but never reached the world’s top 30. So much was expected of this young phenom but mis-management, a poor attitude and his game style never allowed him to become an all time great. This week on Open Era we are joined by Andrew Reiley of Cult Tennis to discuss, what on earth happened to Donald Young?
