what made arthur ashes a legend?

Answer 1

THOSE WHO WERE THE PIONEERS IN GAME, RATED AS LEGENDS.

Answer 2

I'm currently a nationally certified tennis instructor, and used to be an active tennis umpire. In fact, I've umpired many tennis matches in which Arthur Ashe has played. Although I can't say I knew Arthur well, I've had many long talks with him before, between, and after matches.

To me, Arthur Ashe was a legend for two reasons:

1. He was the first black man to play tennis well enough to beat professional playersin a sport highly dominated by affluent white people for nearly a century.

2. He was an incredibly intelligent, warm, and egalitarian man.

As far as Arthur's athletic prowess is concerned, his serves were his strength because they were incredibly powerful, accurate, consistent, varied, and very tricky.

Indeed, I've had the distinct pleasure of witnessing Arthur's serve, as well as the rest of his game, up close and personal.

Answer 3

Arthur Robert Ashe, Jr. (July 10, 1943 – February 6, 1993) was a prominent African American tennis player who was born and raised in Richmond, Virginia, USA. During his playing career, he won three Grand Slam titles. Ashe is also remembered for his efforts to further social causes.

In his youth, Ashe was small and not well-coordinated. But by the time he entered high school, he starred in tennis, basketball, and football. In tennis, he won the state championship, while in football, he helped lead his team to the city championship as a speedy wide receiver.

Ashe began to attract the attention of tennis fans after being awarded a tennis scholarship at UCLA in 1963. That same year, Ashe was the first African American ever selected to the US Davis Cup team.
