“I make no apologies for the way I played tennis. I
wasn't out there to win a popularity contest—I was out there to win—and
entertain at the same time. The thing is, I was good at being a bad boy, a real
one. Not like some of the pretend bad
boys who said sorry after every little incident. Face up to it or don’t do it. I always accepted the fines, suspensions and
screaming headlines that followed my spontaneous assholery. That is a word,
right? Well, it is now.”— Jimmy Connors, The Outsider: A Memoir (2013)
