A matchup of two legends; one at the beginning of his career and one at the end.

[@shabzone]

Agassi's class is underrated. He never gets super angry at questionable calls and doesn't rage at bad games.

[@jrsdsu1986]

Absolutely. And among all aging tennis pros, Andre has done by far the most good in the world.

[@martinhudecek8886]

I don't know about that. His temper has cost him some matches. One time I recall was 'no f-ing way.. just call the score' .

[@JohnSmith-xw2dw]

He was pretty good except for that US Open match against Korda. He was out of line.

[@jeffhermida4788]

@@martinhudecek8886definitely!! Also remember how he got defaulted against Cecil Mammit at Sybase open. It doesn’t happen often.

[@datacipher]

@@martinhudecek8886 it's amazing how ignorant fans are. Agassi should have been kicked out of the 1990 USO against Korda, he swore regularly back then. He tanked matches regularly, He took amphetamines and lied to get out of it. The rumours of steroid use have dogged him for most of his career - including allegations from other pros. His autobiography is FULL of lies and mistruths - one day I might blog about that - being a diehard fan, I can identify at least 50 lies in that book. He's treated many people like Bill Shelton, Parentti, Etcheberry and others horribly - and finally had a falling out with even lifelong bestie Perry. The entire Australian Davis cup team was enraged at him - and contrary to what the ignorant OP said - called out his lack of class.... and even Andre's own teammate Krickstein backed then up! He belittled an entire South American Davis cup team - another thing he lied about in his book. Called Sampras a poor tipper - with absolutely no justification or verification - after Sampras had made a HUGE donation to his vanity school. Yet now... because he continually spouts nonsensical new-age feel good rhetoric and sayings, moron fans eat it up. lol. Actions speak louder than silly rhetoric, Don't get me wrong, I think Andre finally turned into a decent human, but he spent most of his career lying.

[@kenarthur6253]

Definitely 2 of the greatest. The way Connors directs the ball, to me, is just amazing. Never seen anyone else ever do it the way he does.

[@gretchenlittle6817]

That's what I was thinking. He hit a few neutral balls, but almost never hit a "rally ball." Every shot had a purpose -- always attacking.

[@emin7540]

Yes Connors and many of the past players directed their shots, especially Connors. That follow through in the directing of his shots eventually took a toll on his hips.

[@kondor99999]

I don’t think I ever realized how awesome Connors was until now.

[@williewasahippie]

My friend played Connors in one of his first pro tournaments. I'd say losing 6-4, 6-4 to Connors wasn't bad. :)

[@williewasahippie]

@FunkyShotsProduction Agassi, with a bad back and prior to retirement, held his own VS Federer. Fed won but Agassi put up a fight, even though he couldn't move. Some great baseline rallies. I think Agassi could have played longer if his back didn't go bad.

[@dontsayitisntbecauseitis3845]

Yeah. Definitely a unique talent. His basic hand/eye coordination to hit that flat that consistently (for decades) is amazing to see. It’s like he’s got contempt for these top-spin, percentage-playing slackers. And for a stone-cold baseline freak, very seldom found wanting at the net.

[@chrisansell2174]

Connors' volleys are un-believable. He never misses a volley or put-a-way. For a baseliner, his volleys and approaches are godlike.

[@frankconnor38]

Interesting highlights. Connors wins almost every point but loses the match.

[@terancetheindomitable9701]

I would say other than Rafa Nadal, no other player in the history of tennis fought harder point for point than Jimmy Connors. He never gave up. He's 36 in this match, and back then 36 was old. They didn't have all this training and vegan diets. He obviously loved playing tennis.

[@Shadowlord45]

Novak is 36 now and proving if you can stay fit, you can play strong into your mid 30s

[@ktosomcosom19]

Connors said that his eagerness to use racquets made using the latest technologies and materials could have contributed a great deal to prolonging his career

[@yannickmethorst9158]

@@ktosomcosom19 you're making the right point, Connors (much like Federer, Nadal en Djokovic after him) remained hungry to improve, where others weren't that eager to after a certain age. Even though they don't strike the ball as hard as the players today do, tennis in 1989 was going a heck of a lot faster than in 1975 (when Connors was no. 1), yet he remained a top player.

[@stylistxxx]

Djokovic changed world of tennis , 36 is young (:

[@toptenguy1]

My favorite thing about Connors is.. Even late in his career, with TONS of Major Titles, and SEVERAL weeks as world #1... He STILL has so much enthusiasm and passion for the game. He just seems to enjoy it so much (Sure he throws tantrums, but he's so happy when he wins big points).

What a terrible job editing this video, only once do they show the score and where they are in the match.

[@DNA2000-8bit]

Connors, for as unconventional as he hit the ball, is the winningest professional tennis player in the history of the sport. If that how you measure the GOAT, it might be him.

[@chiphister]

My feeling at the time was that Agassi lost the second set 4-6, then PURPOSELY tanked the third set 0-6. He then figured he could just close out Connors easily, as he had won the first set 6-1. Connors had a little more fight in him than Agassi counted on, and the last 2 sets were closer than I'm sure he would have liked, 6-3, 6-4. I think part of the reason Agassi did this was to show that he could win a 5-setter (which he had not done up to that time, as I recall). His game just matched up so well with Connors that Agassi could just crush him pretty much at will, as he had done the year before (he won his 1988 US Open match against Connors 6-2, 7-6, 6-1). I remember Mary Carillo actually asking him about it in the post-match interview, and he laughed nervously. No question in my mind - he tanked the 3rd, and possibly the 2nd set. Watch the entire match if you can find it. It's obvious.

[@rbrianharris]

Agassi was leaving a lot of balls really short. Inviting Connors into the net. I was baffled before reading your comments.

[@bluepilldevolution7914]

So sad how Andre was so in love with his baseline game. He missed so many opportunities to come to the net! If he took a moment to analyze Connor's game, this match would have ended much sooner.

Connors at 37 and well out of his prime while Agassi 19 and in his prime on goes to show had they met while both were in their prime Connors would easily beat Agassi! Today's tennis is at the baseline and many of the points are like feeding the ball to one another allow body positioning and preparation. No one in the past would give you time to prepare for the next shot and there is no 15 ball bounce before their serves or stalling and Connors later in the match did not feel well but fought on, these are champions!

And that baseline call that Gerulaitis said was "clearly out" was, in fact, clearly in.

Agassi, Courier, Sampras all improved upon them immensely and the Big 3 have been exemplary.

@@BurnsTennis Oops I double checked my source (wiki) and you are right. I was looking at the wrong colum of slam totals right below the Open for that total. Here are the correct figures from 1970-1992 he played 22 years for 98 wins and 17 losses. for a 85.22 w/l average. Thanks for catching that!!! I will correct my original post to reflect reality

@@BTURNER1961 That is an incredible record. I like two guys at the Open. Connors for winning on 3 surfaces (never to be matched as surface wont change again) and Sampras for remarkably making 8 finals in only 14 attempts.

@@BurnsTennis sampras making those 3 last finals and winning one past his prime was quite exciting
