When two of the top American tennis players fell for each other in the 1970s, the American public fell for the couple. Jimmy Connors and Chris Evert coupled up on and off the court, as the two occasionally played mixed doubles together.
Interest in the two peaked at Wimbledon at 1974, when both won the singles championships. At the champions ball, they danced together to "The Girl That I Marry."
Connors and Evert were engaged in 1973, but their relationship fell apart soon afterward. The wedding they had planned for Nov. 8, 1974 was called off. They subsequently became re-engaged, but separated for good in 1976.
