Lunch Break Video: Jimmy Connors reflects on his legendary 1991 US Open run
A wonderful Labor Day tradition for me is watching US Open tennis with my dad.
Yesterday, we watched Serena Williams play a dominating match then watched Mardy Fish lose a heartbreaking five-setter to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
It was 20 Labor Days ago that dad and I sat in the same den watching the US Open and on that day, 39-year-old Jimmy Connors pulled out a five-set win over 24-year-old Aaron Krickstein. It was a thriller and I remember how exciting it was and how thrilled we were when Jimmy won.
This past weekend, CBS did a special on Jimmy’s magical run and did interviews not only with the tennis legend himself, but some of his opponents that year.
It’s great stuff.
Enjoy!

It was a run for the gaes in tennis and I don’tthink we’ll ever see anything like it again, and, cute Aaron just went away after that it seems. Lets gooooooooooo Serena 🙂
