- Early in his career, Jimmy
- was known as the bad boy
- of tennis because of his
- rude behavior on the
- court. He would argue with
- officials and taunt his opponents. But he also
- played great tennis.
-
- His best year was 1974, when he won the
- Australian Open, Wimbledon, and the U.S.
- Open. Although he never had another year
- like 1974, he did win the U.S. Open four more
- times, and Wimbledon once more. As he
- grew older, Jimmy grew more popular with
- tennis fans, who enjoyed his fiery will to win.
- Jimmy retired in 1992, but he still competes
- in a few tournaments.
