14. BIOGRAPHY As a tennis player, arthur ashe was one of the most prominent players of his time; an allout competitor 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?"
