James Scott \"Jimmy\" Connors (born September 2, 1952, in East St. Louis, Illinois, also known as \"Jimbo\"[1]) is a former World No. 1 American tennis player. He held the top ranking for 160 consecutive weeks from July 29, 1974 through August 29, 1977 and an additional eight times during his career (a total of 268 weeks).
