el nombre se escribe KEN ROSEWALL un australiano, y realmente era otra epoca, donde se pasaban mas pelotas, mucho mas sencillo de tener una carrera larga
como quien subio este video creo es argentino (al menos asi es su nombre de usuario) voy a opinar en español....kimmy connors es el tenista masculino que mas gano, y el tercero , contando hombres y mujeres con mas titulos en individuales (1º navratilova , 167 titulos y segunda, chris evert con 157); jimmy se hizo profesional en 1972 (20 años) y se retiro en 1992, volviendo fugazmente al circuitgo profesional en 1996 (44 años, solo 3 partidos); para longevo, ken rosewell (1953-1979)
No doubt one of the ten best to ever play the game. In his prime he was better than what's out there today. If I had to list the ten best of all time, I could see Federer and Nadal on the list, but you have to put Borg, McEnroe, Connors, Sampras, and Agassi in there as well.
One of my sports heroes. My favorite comment about Connors came from the late Arthur Ashe, who when asked if Jimmy was an asshole, paused briefly, then said, "yeah but he was my favorite asshole."
This video clips defines the 10 years known as the 80's! grass court tennis, short shorts, T-2000's, 'Jump', headbands, bowl-cuts, shameless montaging....AWESOME!
no estoy seguro si Jimbo fue el jugador más longevo, terminó su carrera de singles a los 39 años y jugando dobles llegó hasta los 41.
Sólo por poner un ejemplo Rod Laver se retiró jugando singles a los 41 años. Es cierto que puedes objetar este ejemplo con eso de "tenis profesional" porque Laver jugó gran parte de su carrera como amateur, en los tiempos en que muchos torneos repudiaban a los "profesionales", aun después de 1968 año en que comenzó la era Open
En su carrera sumó 109 títulos de singles y 15 de dobles (incluidos dos Grand Slam con el también polémico Ilie Nastase). Con 43 años jugó su último partido en el torneo de Atlanta en 1996 donde perdió ante Richey Reneberg.
WHAT A VIDEO!!!! After looking at all the others where Jimbo loses,its great to see this one!! He is the one player I truly enjoy watching. Those who compare him with others fail to realize that he had a talent that the Samprases, Federers and the Lendls never had... Jimmy actually cared about the popularity of the game. No wonder he once got a cheque of 1 million dollars (I am not kidding here) from a fan. Thats what makes him unique guys!!
GOD DAMN THIS VIDEO GETS ME SO HYPE!!!! YOU GOTTA MAKE ANOTHER ONE. OF JIMMY TOO. I AGREE< HE IS THE GREATEST 8IIIIIIIIIIIIID MAN I LOVE THIS GUY!!!! THIS SONG TOO!!! SON OF A BITCH!!!!

JIMMY CONNORS IS THE GREATEST TENNIS PLAYER AND MOST IMPORTANTLY ENTERTAINER I VE EVER SEEN .
I grew up with him and Michel Platini (football) and they were my heroes .
I would cry for a Connors loss .
Anyone should watch The US Open 1991 and what he did there while being closed to 40
Simply oustanding and the crowds were eating any gesture of his
