"Bjorn was a different breed, I threw my best material at him, but he would never smile, but that added to the charm when he played me and Mac. We were going nuts and losing our mind and he was sitting back like he was on a Sunday stroll"

- Jimmy Connors

About this Quote

Jimmy Connors is describing his experience playing tennis with Bjorn, a player who differed from anyone else he had actually ever encountered. In spite of Connors' best shots, Bjorn never ever smiled, but this only contributed to the beauty of the match. Connors and his partner, Mac, were going wild with enjoyment, but Bjorn remained calm and gathered, as if he were taking a leisurely stroll on a Sunday afternoon. This contrast in between Connors and Mac's interest and Bjorn's stoic demeanor made the match all the more amazing. Bjorn's unique style of play was unlike anything Connors had actually ever seen prior to, and it made for an extraordinary experience.
