ARTHUR ASHE Tennis Player A tennis star of the 1960s and 1970s, Ashe was also an African-American pioneer: he was the first black man to win at the U.S. Open and Wimbledon. He scored many other firsts in his career, including becoming the first African-American on the U.S. Davis Cup team in 1963. Ashe played tennis at UCLA and was national collegiate champion in 1965. He won three major tournaments in his career: the U.S. Open (1968), the Australian Open (1970) and Wimbledon (1975). Ashe retired in 1980 and was elected to the Tennis Hall of Fame in 1985. In 1988 he discovered he had AIDS, probably having gotten the HIV virus from a blood transfusion during heart surgery in 1983. Ashe made the news public at a 1992 press conference and died the next year. Extra credit : Ashe served in the U.S. Army from 1966-68, reaching the rank of second lieutenant...

7. BIOGRAPHY Though at his best he was for many the very definition of tennis, tennis never defined arthur ashe. For arthur ashe, tennis was a means to an end. http://www.cmgww.com/sports/ashe/bio.html

As a tennis player, Arthur Ashe was one of the most prominent players of his time; an all-out competitor who rarely beat himself. His legacy, however, will be the positive changes he helped bring about and the causes he championed, both within tennis and in society as a whole. Though at his best he was for many the very definition of tennis, tennis never defined Arthur Ashe. As a child growing up in segregated Richmond, Virginia, Arthur’s physical stature did little to indicate his future career as a professional athlete. "Skinny as a straw," Arthur derived countless hours of pleasure reading and listening to music with his mother, Mattie. He also showed a surprising flair for tennis from the first time he picked up a racquet. At the age of six, Mattie passed away suddenly. Though heartbroken, Arthur’s memory of his beloved mother was a source of inspiration throughout his life. Upon graduation from high school, Arthur was good enough to earn a tennis scholarship to UCLA. It was at UCLA that Arthur became recognized for his tennis ability on a national level, culminating with an individual and team NCAA championship in 1965. He was growing as a person as well, graduating in 1966 with a BA in Business Administration. Ashe was selected in 1963 to represent the United States in Davis Cup play, an honor in which he took great pride. In doing so, he also became the first African-American to be selected to play for the American team. In actuality, Arthur Ashe was a trailblazer for African-American males in tennis every time he succeeded on the court, in much the same fashion as Althea Gibson had for African-American females some 10 years earlier. The relevancy of these accomplishments was not lost on Ashe. His determination to succeed "despite" being an outcast in a historically white sport was put to an even greater test in 1969.

Sports Biographies Alpha Index Index by Sport Index of Women Ashe, Arthur R. Jr. Tennis b. July 10, 1942, Richmond, VA d. Feb. 6, 1993 Ashe began playing tennis seriously when he was ten, under the tutelage of Dr. R. Walter Johnson, a Charlottesville physician who had helped make Althea Gibson the first black tennis champion. After his junior year in high school, he moved to St. Louis, where he could face stiffer competition. Ashe won four straight American Tennis Association championships, from 1960 through 1963, and in 1965 he was the NCAA tennis champion, representing UCLA. While serving in the Army in 1968, Ashe became the first black male to win a national title, taking both the first U. S. Open and the U. S. amateur championship. He turned professional after leaving the Army in 1969 and won the 1970 Australian Open. As the culmination of his career, he won the Wimbledon singles title in 1975, the first black male to accomplish that. Slender at 6-foot-1 and only 158 pounds, Ashe was a graceful yet powerful player who hit hard top-spin ground strokes and had an excellent first serve. He was ranked among the top ten players in the U. S. fifteen times, and eleven times he was in the top three. In 304 singles tournaments, Ashe had 52 victories and was the runner-up 42 times. A heart attack forced his retirement in 1980. "It's very hard for an athlete to leave center stage," he said. "What do you replace it with?"

Ashe, Arthur (Robert) Ashe holding up his trophy after winning the singles title at Wimbledon, 1975 UPI/Corbis-Bettmann (b. July 10, 1943, Richmond, Va., U.S.d. Feb. 6, 1993, New York, N.Y.), American tennis player, the first black winner of a major men's singles championship. Ashe began to play tennis at the age of seven in a neighbourhood park. He was coached by Walter Johnson of Lynchburg, Va., who had coached tennis champion Althea Gibson . Ashe moved to St. Louis, Mo., where he was coached by Richard Hudlin, before he entered the University of California at Los Angeles on a tennis scholarship. In 1963 Ashe won the U.S. hard-court singles championship; in 1965 he took the intercollegiate singles and doubles titles; and in 1967 he won the U.S. clay-court singles championship. In 1968 he captured the U.S. (amateur) singles and open singles championships. He played on the U.S. Davis Cup team (1963-70, 1975, 1977-78) and helped the U.S. team to win the Davis Cup challenge (final) round in 1968, 1969, and 1970. In the latter year he became a professional. His criticism of South African apartheid racial policy led to denial of permission to play in that country's open tournament, and, as a consequence, on March 23, 1970, South Africa was excluded from Davis Cup competition. In 1975, when he won the Wimbledon singles and the World Championship singles, he was ranked first in world tennis. After retiring from play in 1980, he became captain of the U.S. Davis Cup team, a position he held from 1981 to 1985.

Noted for his grace, hard-hit topspin, and outstanding backhand, Ashe won the 1968 U.S. Open, the 1970 Australian Open, and the 1975 Wimbledon title. He retired as a player following a 1979 heart attack, but continued to serve as the U.S. Davis Cup captain. In 1992 he announced that he had acquired AIDS from a heart operation years earlier.

Biography of Arthur Ashe Biography of Arthur Ashe who broke down the color barriers by becoming the first African-American to ever compete and win many top ranked tournaments. Arthur Robert Ashe Jr. was born in Richmond, Virginia, to Mattie and Arthur Ashe, Sr. on July 10, 1943. He spent his young life reading and listening to music with his mother, Mattie, whom he adored. Ashe began playing tennis at Brookfield Park in Richmond at the age of seven, after his mother died of complications from surgery. With grace and natural movements, three years later he attracted the attention of part-time tennis coach, Ronald Charity. Impressed by the potential he saw in Ashe, Charity made arrangements for Ashe to spend a summer at Dr. Walter Johnson's home in Lynchburg. Johnson had previously coached tennis great, Althea Gibson, and was eager to work with the young Ashe. After just one summer, Johnson agreed to become 10-year old Arthur Ashe's mentor, and the two began working non-stop to make Ashe the best tennis player in the world. In 1957, Ashe earned his first big victory as he became the first African American to ever play in the Maryland boy's championships. bodyOffer(19150) After spending several years traveling from Richmond to tennis tournaments outside his segregated neighborhood, Ashe tired of the commute and accepted an offer from St. Louis tennis coach, Richard Hudlin, to move into his home. Ashe enrolled in Sumner High School for his senior year, and continued to work diligently at improving his tennis game.
