JIMMY CONNORS BIOGRAPHY |

|
Jimmy Connors (September 2, 1952 - ) is a famous American tennis player.
James Scott Connors was born in East St. Louis, Illinois. The "brat" of tennis, so named because of his brash conduct off and on court. As a teenager, he was already high in the rankings and was famous for his romance with fellow-prodigy Chris Evert. Always aggressive in game, Connors played like a Pit Bull, never giving away a point easily to anyone. That same personality resulted in him frequently clashing with umpires and judges, Davis Cup officials, his own players' union, and even other players.
For five straight years, Jimmy Connors was ranked #1 in the world between 1974 and 1978 and won the US Open five times. He was the first high-profile tennis player to use a metal racket (Wilson T-2000), and along with Bjorn Borg made the two-handed backhand shot a part of the game. |
