Jimmy Connors amazing rally-1991 U.S. open

[jrr0385]

I don't even like tennis but that flurry of fist pumps with a hump mixed in after that big point was the greatest celebrations I've ever seen in sports

[multipleman78]

imagine the adrenaline rush this must have given Connors. No way can sex be better than this.

[ShaolinCenter]

@atiboy1 He turned 39 years old a couple days later!

[bull864]

@ShaolinCenter Actually he turned 39 a couple of days before this.

[tribbletroubles212]

LOVVVVEEEEEEE this match!

[lc1415]

Quite simply the greatest point in tennis history.

[switchhitter08]

@lc1415 No question about it!

[cinator77]

the ultimate showman!

[Kicksmeintheshowers]

Epic!!!! I remember it well!!

[ShaolinCenter]

Dude. You think Tiger Woods had a fist pump??? Jimmy is Tiger's Daddy!!! This is the greatest tennis moment ever!

[vccstudents]

We need an American male tennis player like this again! It's been 8 stinking years since an American male won one of the four Grand Slam events! Connors loved playing in New York, and New York loved Connors!

[tenniscollector]

WOW 20 years on. In 1991 Jimmy rocked the place didn't he ?! This is Still the greatest point in Tennis History. There's another one from the '78 USO that is good to. GO JIMBO.

1:22 = COLLECTIVE ORGASM

[MisterBigJones]

James Scott Connors, the most entertaining character and player in this sport's history.

What he does here, ONLY HIM Could do IT and at 39 years of age !

One of a kind, THANK G.OD I was born and old enough to follow him when he was still playing .

They don't make players like this anymore.

[loko5555]

say what you want about connors, that old fella was a magician

[DC322]

Epic.



[cantor0305]

1:27 i wouldn't be aahruis at this moment, even for all the scottish whisky !

[kolbpilot]

I saw that live the night it was broadcast. Good stuff.

[TheLocalcat]

it's so funny seeing connors in action. i'm so used to the calm man i see when he's commentating. lol

[tommybuurt]

HOW DID HE NOT PUT THAT SMASH AWAY!!! MUPPET

[runamuck74]

classic connors moment! aside from the effort, close your eyes and just listen to the crowd's reaction thru out the point. it still brings chills up the spine...great memory.

[udhoop]

Best sequence ever! And "hello" to a fellow West Michigander as I see these were all captured on channel 3!

[benda23]

20 years later, I still get the chills watching this. Absolutely amazing.

[enfantroi1]

A lion.....

[loutcb]

yes



[xrayt3ch]

I guess Paul Hairhuis dislikes this video.

[xrayt3ch]

Simply amazing!!! Old School Tennis. I don't think anyone uses the continental grip these days.

[emmbee]

One of the greatest single points in tennis history - as part of one of the greatest major championship performances ever. There's only one way to describe what Connors did that year: magic.

[jayfey77]

i wonder what john mcenroe was thinking since he lost to hairhuis 2 years earlier at the us open.and i think harhuis had just beaten boris becker at this same tournament.

[neaput1]

I cannot stop watching this!

[berthagram]

This is my all time favorite tennis moment ever! Remember watching the match on tv...absolutely brilliant!!!!!!

[FromHell253]

40 years old OMG...

[phantomlord54]

Quite possibly the most sensational moment in tennis history..

[bjornsiborgsi]
