mcenroe should have one this major...this and him blowing the 84 french open must do his head in.

@MrNotyag You should read "Rage for Perfection" which I think was re-titled later but was an early Mcenroe biography from a well respected tennis journo who travelled the circuit. It mentions a net -cord in this match which turned the game. Connors was out of it, two sets to one down, got a bit of luck and Mcenroe gave up. And he really does give up. ESPN played the match in real time recently and Mcenroe sulks, he throws in the towel, looks like he gives up. He was flawed in that respect.

@MrNotyag We know that's what you say but the facts and the head to heads and the experts would agree with me. Connors beat an ageing Rosewall in 74 and a sulking Mac in 82. He didn't beat Borg at Wimbledon in four attempts, (twice dispatched in 3 sets) and his game was pretty pedestrian with an at times embarrassingly inept serve. He had courage and heart, but not as much talent.
All matches: McEnroe 20–14
All finals: McEnroe 8–7
Grand Slams: McEnroe 6–3
Grand Slam finals: 1–1

@MrNotyag But he lost heavily to Mcenroe at Wimbledon in 1984 - when Mcenroe played flawless tennis. I think even Connors himself would admit Mcenroe was the better player between them

So what if its your video!! You want an Oscar for that or what? dummbass

Jim Connors was the best, I have respect for both of these men, but McEnroe's tantrums were just the worst.
-
1 dislike is from McEnroe. John is known to stay up late at night going around to each and every "mcenroe vs connors" video and clicking the dislike button.

I don't know how connors has energy after all those sets to cheer for every point. after 1 set I can barely toss the ball up for a serve.

J. McEnroe was humbled here. But for me he is the greatest ever tennis player.
