James Scott Connors (born September 2, 1952) is a retired American world No.
1 tennis player, often considered among the greatest in the history of the sport.
He held the top ATP ranking for a then-record 160 consecutive weeks from 1974 to 1977 and a career total of 268 weeks. By virtue of his long and prolific career, Connors still holds three prominent Open Era men's singles records: 109 titles, 1,556 matches played, and 1,274 match wins.
His titles include eight majors (joint Open Era five US Open titles, two Wimbledon titles, one Australian Open title), three year-end championships, and 17 Grand Prix Super Series titles.
In 1974, he became the second man in the Open Era to win three majors in a calendar year (and was not permitted to participate in the fourth, the French Open).
In 1982, he won both Wimbledon and the US Open and is considered to be the World-number-one Player for that year, in addition to 1974 and 1976.
He retired in 1996 at the age of 43.
