109 titles. 1,274 match wins. Five years ranked No. 1. The numbers alone would secure the legacy, but what people remember is the snarl - a combustible competitor who played every point like a personal insult and turned tennis into theater.

About this person
James Scott Connors was born September 2, 1952, and rose through American tennis with a game built on raw aggression and relentless baseline grinding. In 1974 he won three of the four majors in a single calendar year - the second man in the Open Era to do it - though he wasn't allowed into the French Open. Over the next two decades he piled up eight major singles titles: five US Opens, two Wimbledons, one Australian Open. He held the world No. 1 ranking for 268 weeks across five year-end finishes, and by the time he stopped playing in 1996 he had logged 1,557 matches, more than anyone. He later wrote, coached, and worked as a commentator, but the courts had already gotten what they needed from him.
