+Fred B. Me too...Fell in love for tennis on this day exactly

Greatest match I have ever watched. Almost 30 years have passed and I still have never forgotten it. A great comeback and a soccer crowd

I remember watching this match with my parents on Memorial day in 91 when I was 18. It was MAGICAL

perhaps the only tennis video in existence where you’d watch it despite the sound disjoint, if only to see the excitement one more time

I blew off work that day to watch the whole thing. Hands down as good as it gets in any sport! Love Jimmy saying right before the tie breaker...."this is what they want!"

Who could forget watching this. Very inspiring, thanks for the upload!

That run was so awesome , I wish he could of won it ! The most excitement I have ever seen in tennis !

Yes I was so pissed when courier beat him, and I was happy when Edberg beat courier in the final. 🤣

You know it’s a magical run when even the reclusive steffi Graf is watching it before her match

39 nine friggin years old! Amazing! Just Amazing!

This was the only time in my life when the "Winner" of a tournament. Did not win it. 40 year old Jimmy owned New York for 2 weeks.It was magic.

Glad he didn't win it. He was a worm.

I'm not sure anyone ever looked so chronically unhappy as Krickstein, other than Chang.

that celebration brings chill down my spine. the most recent guy to this fire was hewitt but he is gone

Jimmy Connors.....Tennis God.....'nuff said

Their back to being friends.

Too bad the sound is out of sync for this video. Oh well, i'll take what I can get.

Where is the Jimmy Connors Stadium?

Great question. Connors has done more for the sport in the past 50 years than any other player, and it's not even debatable. He changed the entire culture ( fist pump inventor, talking to fans in the crowd, strutting around the court after winning big points, etc), AND......Jimmy Connors is the guy who is mostly responsible for the BIG PRIZE MONEY in the sport. Connors famously declared that his blood and sweat that he left on the court to win a tournament was worth far, far more money than the tiny cash prizes of 15 or 20 grand and such...

In the bin where it belongs.

I am looking for two Matches from Connors. His 3rd Round Match at US Open 91 against Novacek and his Match vs. Krickstein at Wimbledon 91 ! So many Videos from this Match here, but in the same Year he played against him at Wimbledon. I can nothing find about it. Please help ;-)

At the time, I recall that Connors was getting on in years.....but just like Nicklaus winning the Masters one last time....This game was very much the same.......

Two years before, he clobbered Edberg and should've beaten Agassi. That match went five sets.

They should officially release this match on DVD.

Jimmy Connors has very expressive eyebrows.

I don’t understand how Jimmy’s technique works at all, but it’s extremely effective.

Hits the ball flat as Don Budge did. Hard for others to handle.

Have you seen Jimmy play in the flesh? His style is easier to examine live rather than on the screen. I knew he hit the ball low (and flat) but it was so low that each ball looked as though it was heading for the middle of the net. Somehow it went over. Whereas other players tend to hit the ball up and over. His downward angle technique gave him the control. Plus the fast, hard pace.

it was Showtime , today it's boring

Connors has emotional anger. Kyrgios has that I don't give a shit with anger. But kyrgios anger looks stupid. Connors and McEnroe temper and anger looks entertaining and cool. I'd prefer Mac and jimmys passionate anger. It's what tennis I grew up with.

nice perm...

I feel bad for Krickstein’s dad.

People often put category

Just remember that these guys used to be friends. They are friends no more because of Connors' behavior.

Hi Ron, I heard about it but are they really 'friends'? They were friends BEFORE the match as Aaron trained at Jimmy's home, I understand. After the infamous match, Aaron didn't talk to Jimmy again! Let's put it this way...if Aaron wins the infamous match, Aaron can look Jimmy in the eye. But he can't because Jimmy carried on in a way which Aaron lost all respect for Jimmy. Personally, I think Jimmy was in the wrong for his on-court antics. It was no longer one-on-one. Connors got 20,000 cheering for himself and booing against the opponent. To me, that's WRONG. What do you think? I wouldn't do that to an opponent because it's unfair play.

During the final tie-break, I don’t see anywhere where Jimmy misbehaved. I like Jimmy because he is all business during all his matches whether it’s the first round or the final. He is one of the most competitive tennis players ever. He deserves all accolades and all the trophies he had won.
