As part of the acclaimed ESPN series "30 for 30," a new documentary on Jimmy Connors and his surprise run at the 1991 US Open is set to air Tuesday.
"This Is What They Want," directed by Brian Koppelman and David Levien, looks at the Jimmy Connors who stunned the sports world by making it to the 1991 US Open semifinals. Despite being ranked No. 174 in the world and almost losing in the first round, the former No. 1 Connors battled his way to the semifinals before losing to Jim Courier.
The film features interviews with Connors himself along with family members, journalists, and former players John and Patrick McEnroe, Mary Carillo, Courier and Aaron Krickstein.
"This is What They Want" will premiere on Tuesday, Oct. 29, at 8 p.m. on ESPN.
