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. 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.

Arthur Ashe, an athlete with character Home What Happened on Your Birthday? Search the Registry by Category ... Contact July 10 Arthur Ashe *Arthur Ashe was born on this date in 1943. He was an African-American tennis player, author, and the first black man to win a major tennis tournament. Arthur Robert Ashe, Jr., was born in Richmond, Virginia. At age ten he began to play tennis under the direction of Dr. Walter Johnson, who taught 1957 Wimbledon women's champion, Althea Gibson. Ashe went on to attend UCLA. In 1963 he became the first African American to play on the Davis Cup national tennis team, and won the U.S. intercollegiate singles championship. After graduating from UCLA in 1966 with a degree in business administration, Ashe was commissioned a second lieutenant in the United States Army Reserve. In 1968 the major tennis tournaments opened their competitions to professionals, but Ashe remained an amateur because of his military status. At the U.S. Open that year he defeated several professional players and won the men's singles title. Ashe is the only amateur ever to win the U.S. amateur championship and U.S. Open titles during the same year. In 1969, Ashe joined the professional tennis circuit; he and several other players formed the group that became the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP), the governing body that oversees rankings, prize money, and international tennis events. His best season came in 1975, when he beat Jimmy Connors for the Wimbledon singles title and attained the number-one ranking in the United States. Ashe also won doubles championships at the French Open in 1971 and at the Australian Open in 1977. Ashe survived heart surgery in 1979 and announced his retirement from competition a year later. He then served as non-playing captain of the U.S. Davis Cup team and became involved in various charitable and youth-oriented activities such as the National Junior Tennis League and the ABC Cities Tennis Program.

Home Becoming a New Virginia > Arthur Ashe Arthur Ashe Arthur Ashe was born in Richmond, Virginia, on July 10, 1943. He learned to play tennis at the Richmond Racket Club, a club established for area African Americans. At the time, Richmond's public facilities schools, theaters, restaurants, and even tennis courts were racially segregated. Ashe practiced hard. In 1960 and 1961, he won the Junior Indoor Singles Championship and was ranked 28th in the country, even though he was still in high school. He attended UCLA on a tennis scholarship and went on to win both the U.S. Amateur Tennis Championship and the U.S. Open. In 1968, Ashe became the first African-American member of the Davis Cup Team and helped the United States win its first championship in five years. In 1975, Ashe upset heavily favored Jimmy Connors at Wimbledon and won the World Championship Tennis (WCT) singles title over Bjorn Borg. Arthur Ashe suffered a heart attack in 1979, and his career turned in a different direction. He was named captain of the U.S. Davis Cup Team and, although inactive as a player, worked hard from the sidelines. He was named president of the Association of Tennis Professionals and co-founder of the National Junior Tennis League. After his retirement from tennis, Ashe appeared on television as a sports commentator and wrote a syndicated newspaper column. He wrote several books on tennis, including his autobiography, Off the Court But Arthur Ashe was more than a tennis champion. He was an outspoken advocate of racial justice, both in the United States and overseas. He raised money for many charitable causes and worked to end apartheid in South Africa. In 1988, he wrote
