Jimmy Connors: Tennis' Ultimate Maverick
Commentator Bud Collins nicknamed him the ‘Brash Basher of Belleville’ - and through a mammoth 24-year career, Jimmy Connors certainly lived up to that moniker.⁠
Jimmy Connors’ approach to tennis was to take everything - his opponent, the umpire, the crowd, his shots - head on. ⁠
⁠
His attitude at times split opinions, but he also wowed with his daring shot-making, remarkable resilience and phenomenal success.⁠
⁠
Hated and adored, but never ignored - a phrase made for James Scott Connors.⁠

Thanks for this. Connors is still the most exciting player I ever saw.

I remember how Borg packed it in at 26. Then MacEnroe lost his focus at 25 and never won another slam. Two big babies, boo hoo. Connors did not win a slam from 1975 to 1980 but was in many finals. He then won three when he was over thirty. I bet he looks at those weak softies Mac, and Borg and just shakes his head

I remember he played Tim Mayotte in the early eighties at Wimbledon...it was breathtaking...

Mr. Excitement. PERIOD. And Connors is the main guy who brought the really big prize money into the sport......for (the a-hole sponsors and tournament officials felt it was okay to award the winner of a major tourney a check for 10 to 20 grand, which Connors felt was an insult) this, EVERY champion of EVERY tournament every year should send Connors a check for 1% of the prize money.

Can I just ask you, why do you keep promoting American players? What's this propaganda? Evert, Connors, next I presume would be mcenroe right? Where's villas, lendl, wilander... M?

@HarrisonSim Жыл бұрын

Prior to Evert they made videos about Kyrgios and Iga. Also, it's currently the US Open, so it's on theme? But, I would also freakin love a video on Lendl.

It's the US Open so have done an Origin's video on 2 of America's best players. There is no propaganda, if you look back at all of our videos we have covered all sorts of players. Lendl was the 3rd video we produced and released nearly 2 years ago. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jtiopMyDld6udH0.html
