That is if he doesn’t think he doesn’t have to go out and work hard and it’s gonna come easy. He needs to continue what he’s doing now and looks like he will. He has that passion, that smile, that excitement, and that feel for what he’s doing”, Connors said on his podcast called Connors Advantage.
Connors left an indelible mark on the sport, particularly with his remarkable Grand Slam achievements. Throughout his illustrious career, Connors clinched eight Grand Slam singles titles, including two Wimbledon titles (1974, 1982), five US Open titles (1974, 1976, 1978, 1982, 1983), and one Australian Open title (1974).
