American tennis legend Jimmy Connors had reportedly celebrated his 61st birthday and unveiled his memoir 'The Outsider' at the home of US investment firm Blackstone CEO Steve Schwarzman.

According to the New York Post, Connors was feted by billionaires David Koch, Peter Brant, some Wall Street movers and shakers, and Connors' longtime tennis colleagues including coach Pancho Gonzales.

The report further said that current stars like Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer, who are competing at the US Open, sent congratulatory messages.

According to the report, one of the specialties of the party was a grass 'tennis court', as long as two ping pong tables, which was made from edible organic wheat grass and was placed in the center of the action.
