I saw it and agree it was very good, but it reinforced my dislike of Connors. He's one of the greatest tennis players of all time, but an enormous ******* to this day. I thought the most fascinating part was that he and Krickstein (the kid he beat in the monumental five-setter in 1991) were close friends at the time; Krickstein looked to Connors as somewhat of a mentor; that match basically destroyed Krickstein's promising career while making millions of dollars for Connors; yet to this day Connors has never spoken to him. Not to say that Connors should apologize for winning - he shouldn't - but it would show common decency to reach out and show a little empathy for a friend. But Connors lacks common decency, which is a pretty standard description of him from anyone who has ever interacted with him. But still, his 1991 U.S. Open run was amazing.

Yeah, I could not believe that either.

The entire time they were building up the friendship and then they dropped that bomb. The look on the face of everyone that was interviewed was priceless when they told them they had not spoken since that day.

I always hated when he would do that freaking finger point at the crowd after a win.
