So, I got curious about this legendary tennis player, Jimmy Connors, and what he’s up to these days. I mean, the guy was a beast on the court back in the day, right? I started digging around to see what I could find.
First, I fired up my trusty web browser and started poking around. I bounced between a few different sites, trying to get a general sense of what he’s been up to since his playing days. It seems like he’s done a bit of everything – coaching, commentating, even writing a book.
Checked out some old interviews and articles. It’s pretty cool to see how his perspective on the game has evolved over time. He’s definitely not shy about sharing his opinions, which I appreciate.
- Found a video of him playing in a legends match a few years back. Even though he’s older, he’s still got some serious skills.
- Dug up some information about his personal life. Seems like he’s pretty settled down these days, spending time with his family.
- Read through some of the reviews of his book. Sounds like it’s a pretty candid and entertaining read.
Then I started looking into his coaching career. He’s worked with some big names, like Andy Roddick and Maria Sharapova. I found it fascinating to read about his coaching philosophy and how he approaches working with different players. It sounds like he’s a pretty demanding coach, but he also knows how to get the best out of his players.
After that, I delved into his commentary work. He’s been a commentator for the BBC and Tennis Channel, among others. I watched a few clips of his commentary, and he’s definitely got a knack for it. He’s insightful, opinionated, and not afraid to call it like he sees it.
Finally, I decided to check out his book, “The Outsider.” It’s an autobiography that covers his entire career, from his early days to his post-playing life. I’m only a few chapters in, but it’s already a really engaging read. He’s very open about his struggles and his successes, and he doesn’t pull any punches. He’s always been a bit of a controversial figure, but the dude’s got a good story. I’m keen to finish it and see what all went down back then.
Overall, it’s been pretty cool to learn more about what Jimmy Connors is up to now. He’s had a fascinating career, and he’s still involved in the tennis world in various ways. I guess a tennis guy is a tennis guy till the end of time.
