Arthur Ashe was the first Black player selected for the American Davis Cup team. In 1988 he became ill with Aids, because he had received HIV-contaminated blood during heart surgery; five years later, in 1993, he died as a result.
The centre court in Flushing Meadows, where the US Open final is held each year, was named after him.
After retiring from competitive tennis, he was inducted into the Tennis Hall of Fame.
