Arthur's Story

Arthur Ashe: from the court to legend

Breaking barriers that until then seemed insurmountable, Ashe was the first African American to win a Grand Slam tournament. His triumphs at the US Open in 1968, the Australian Open in 1970 and especially at Wimbledon in 1975 marked fundamental stages in the history of tennis. A contribution that went far beyond sporting results and which, in the 1970s, led him to collaborate with Head to develop rackets with innovative materials such as aluminum, helping to revolutionize the game's equipment and pave the way for a new era. His weapons have always been strategy and intelligent, measured play, on the court as in life. A civil rights activist, he inspired generations by demonstrating that true courage goes beyond the game.
