I believe the answer is:

ashe

(Other definitions for ashe that I've seen before include "US court star" , "Arthur, who came to court" , "Arthur, first black Wimbledon men's singles champion, 1975" , "US rallying champion" , "US tennis player Arthur, 1975 Wimbledon champion" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press.
