He also held a year-end top ten ranking for an Open Era record 16 years.By virtue of his long and prolific career, Connors still holds three prominent Open Era singles records: 109 titles, 1532 matches played, and 1254 match wins. His titles include eight majors (five US Opens, two Wimbledons, and one Australian Open), three year-end championships, and 17 Grand Prix Super Series. In 1974 he became the second man in the Open Era to win three majors in a calendar year, and his total career match win rate of 81.9% remains in the top four of the era.
