John McEnroe reaches out to return a shot from Jimmy Connors during their Men's Singles final on Centre Court at Wimbledon, England, July 8, 1984. McEnroe won in straight sets.

As it turns out, 1984 was a very good year to study McEnroe, whose 82-3 record that year included 13 tournament wins, Wimbledon and the U.S. Open among them.

In 1982, he defeated John McEnroe in a hard fought, bitter, Wimbledon final. In 1984, Jimmy was 31 and McEnroe was 25, and they would go head to head once again to contest the Wimbledon final.

At 25, he was at the peak of his considerable powers. He had started the 1984 season, his annus mirabilis, with 42 straight wins, and he would finish it 82-3, with titles at Wimbledon and the US Open.

In the singles, he won Wimbledon three times and the U.S. Open four times, and he also reached the 1984 French Open final. In the doubles, he won Wimbledon five times and the U.S. Open four times.
