1970 Australian Open champ Arthur (4)

I believe the answer is:

ashe

(Other definitions for ashe that I've seen before include "Ex-Wimbledon champ" , "tennis champ" , "Sporting champion once" , "He was good enough to win Wimbledon" , "Arthur, first black Wimbledon men's singles champion, 1975" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
