  Connors did NOT have a killer serve. He was strictly a "Get It in Play" guy and then used those ferocious groundstrokes to back it up.

  That Wilson T2000 raquet looked like it was borrowed from a badminton game. I don't see how it could have provided much additional power. It's a good thing Jimmy's top rivals in his prime were using heavy wooden sticks with heads so small it was nearly impossible to utilize any significant topspin.

  Connors was the &quot;Pioneer&quot; &nbsp;of &nbsp;1-baseline tennis &nbsp; 2-<s>2-handed back hand &nbsp;and most of all the best DEFENCIVE tennis player. &nbsp;This means his RETURN OF SERVE &nbsp; was the best in the game-</s>

  Everyone thinks that CE is so innocent and proper and from I&apos;ve heard and what Jimmy seems to be saying, she was very promiscuous. People go through phases, most people do some experimenting when they&apos;re young. &nbsp; I thought that Jimmy would be the dominate one in that relationship but, sounds like Chris is the one and that&apos;s why that didn&apos;t work.

  I was in high school when he was playing Borg and McEnroe. We were playing with racquets that are tiny compared with today’s. I can’t beleive I was able to hold rally’s as long as I could back in the day. So many fun memories. My dad had a Head Competition. The first graphite racquet. I used it and it boosted my serve to 120 mph! Unfortunately, I never developed my ground strokes to match my serve. I did serve to a young girl who happened to be training at the club I was practicing at with my high school team back in 1977. Her coach saw me serve and asked my coach if he could borrow me for a few minutes. He had me serve to this girl who must have been 12-13 at the time. He told her if she could handle my serve that she was ready to face any woman’s serve. I served, she returned. It was like hitting against a wall. She got everything back and then we’d volley until I made a mistake. She was truly amazing. A couple of years later I saw her again; This time on television at the finals of Wimbledon! Her name was Andrea Yeager. True story!

  The Outsider wasn’t exactly a “tell-all” — there are several sections where he says he won’t discuss the details, either about his legal issues or extramarital affairs.<br><br>More a “tell-some.”
