## Caption

The opening scenes of the new CNN film, "Citizen Ashe," show moments from Arthur Ashe's Wimbledon victory against Connors in July 1975, when he became the first and only Black man to win the prestigious tennis grand slam.

But the historic match symbolized the tension Ashe faced throughout his career: the weight of expectation from the tennis world, the racism he faced as a Black athlete and his humanitarian work.

The new CNN Film “Citizen Ashe” explores Ashe’s enduring legacy. It airs Sunday, June 26,
at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
