I just happened to notice that Jimmy seems to wear a wedding ring on his right ring finger, not on the traditional left ring finger. Not sure why. Maybe I'm seeing wrong or something.

I think it was freud who said that the Connors vs Mac relationship was like two teasing lovers that cannot find the true love that his hidden in their souls, thus reacting as enemies...
The phrase "frenemies" kind of works for them!

Because he's left handed....very common for southpaws to wear rings and watches on the right hand/arm.

maybe its just a ring (non wedding) and that is the finger it fits on best..i had a ring from my granddad and cos im left handed i put it on my left hand and it fitted best on the 'wedding ring' finger..i got pretty bored with folk going 'yeh but you are married c'mon, look at your wedding ring its on that finger blahblahyawn'..that i put it on my right hand.

Love to see how he handles the Agassi take on him in his book "Open" as a mean guy to a child.

Jimmy is my favourite player of all-time and I'm going to be most interested in the Riordan days, his friendship with Nastase, the rivalry with Borg when they were both vying for the no.1 spot and the chicks (if he mentions them in any great detail).

somebody mentioned Budge and Connors were the most possible similar type of players, with their hard, deep, high risky side spin shots, and I certainly agree
