...reunion was going fine until Connors had a sudden onset of chest pains and thought he had suffered a heart attack. Jimmy checked into Marina Mercy Hospital in Marina del Ray, arriving in a disguise to avoid autograph hunters. Some Washington, D.C., tennis fans who were expecting to see him play in a tournament there charged that he was faking. After all, Connors had pulled out of other tournaments this year with vague ills. Jimmy did not end the skepticism when he passed the time waiting for test results (which proved negative) by practicing tennis and repeatedly pratfalling...
