Connors avait transporteur sensationnelle ... qui jouerait ce type de cours de tennis à 40 ans aujourd'hui?

Stitch was an excellent player and he was at his peak here (while obviously being a way better player on grass than on clay) . Connors managed to barely lose the first set and winning the next two ones, he was obviously too tired for the last two as stated by the commentators and they were right, it was his last French Open.

[MrPernell27]

he wasn't too tired. No way Connors would retire cause he was tired. His back went out again, just like it did against chang in the previous year.

connors is probably the player who played the professional sports the longest out of anyone. What, he turned pro in 1972, played grand slams until 1992, and kept playing on the men's professional tour until 1996. At that age what he did is incredible. No one will match him in longevity, not even agassi or even FEderer...

[MrPernell27]

connors didn;t play between 92-96. he just played the 1 tournament in atlanta where he lost in the first round to richie reneberg 6-2 in teh third. also, Martina Navratilova turned pro in 1973 and played until 2006.

[gianAGRESIVESICK666]

fue su ultimo año cn continuidad, el ultimo en realidad fue el 1996 por que ahi jugo su ultimo torneo

[floydian2007]

Jimmy Connors was a great old war horse, there's no way any of todays players would play till their 40 years old.

[pablotjob]

connor s ya era muy viejo; creo que fue su ultimo año..........el habia nacido en 1952, es decir, tenia 40 años.......

[Youmoussa]

I was in the stadium!

[Private21]

He was a character ...JIMBO!

[ash123431]

I think connors played so long...cause he really loved the game.Just like Ali kept comin back tho he was old and finished.Connors was one of the games finest.

[knullabulla]

Perhaps Jimmy could have won the Grand Slam in 1974, were it not for unfortunate legal matters.

[knullabulla]

Did you see Jimmy's serve at 1:38? Great commentary by the French commentators.

[poupounegidoune]

Are you Mister Fleetsa?

[gil166]

I LOVE watching Connors play.

[semidiota]

Jimbo was almost 40 at this time. Since then not a single player was able to play such a high level of tennis at that age, and probably in the future nobody could match him either.

[royaldoyal]

Connors rocks! I gurantee you'll never see another player play as long as Jimmy did.

[teflonmagnet]

any connors footage is great. it's a wonder the protean stich didn't stick around longer...i guess injuries did him in, too bad. "salut les artistes." beautiful goodbyes with the schmaltz of agassi.

[teflonmagnet]

beautiful goodbyes without the schmaltzy maudlin spectacle of agassi's departure.
