If John McEnroe was tennis’ greatest brat, Jimmy was his smirky older brother, just as belligerent, but not as showy. He also had the most fascinating hair of his tennis generation, alternating between a deranged Tribble and Disco Prince Valiant. At age 39, Jimmy mounted one of the greatest comebacks in sports history, reaching the semifinals of the U.S. Open.
