40 year old Connors beat Martina Navratilova in straight sets in 1992.
Connors was allowed only one serve per point, and Navratilova was allowed to hit into half the doubles court.
I have no idea why Martina agreed to play that match. Jimmy was 40, but she was 36. If she thought she had any chance of winning, then was delusional.
I'm actually surprised the first set was as close as it was. Jimmy must have been nervous because he had a boatload of money on the match.
