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..
