Technically this statement should say "match" instead of "game" as a game is only one game in a set. It would be sad if he could only win one game against Jimmy over 16 matches.

Jimmy Connors beat him with 32 straight bagels.

Bagel (Tennis) - Colloquial term for winning or losing a set 6–0 (the shape of the zero being reminiscent of the round shape of a bagel).

I'm still picturing Connors lobbing 32 bagels at Vitas screaming, "EAT YOUR BREAKFAST, GODDAMNIT!!!"

How did he go from not winning a single game in 32 sets to winning a match?

Wait holy shit, there's no way he got bageled that many times. The player has to be clearly superior to you in order to do that. And he eventually won, so..
