The Connors–McEnroe rivalry was a series of competitive matches between American tennis players Jimmy Connors and John McEnroe, who played 34-times between 1977 and 1991.^[1][2. Jimmy Connors and John McEnroe played again in the late 1990s and the early 2000s. With regard to their matches, Connors has stated, “Something like that never goes away, especially between Mac and myself…To have carried on this rivalry for so many years, and for you still to be talking about it, must mean that we made our mark somewhere.”^[3] This rivalry is said to have been one of the most contentious and embittered in all of tennis history.^[4][5]
