Jimmy Connors is perhaps the most talented male player to ever take the court. He wasn't the "Pete Rose" of men's tennis. Connors had the best return of serve, and the best 2-handed backhand ever seen in the game. During one 3 year period - he could literally put a tennis ball precisely where he wanted it - and with great pace. His big flaw was in never changing his game. That trait cost him several major tournaments. The only time I ever saw him adjust was against John Mac at the 82(83??) Wimbledon final when he beat Mac at the net in a 5 set thriller. Jimmy set the new standard for men's tennis and turned it into a MAN'S sport. He and Johnny Mac are the 2 best i've ever seen.
