Eye on the ball
Tiffany Smith of Richmond, 6, has her eye on the ball at the Arthur Ashe Tennis Courts in Battery Park. She was among scores of youths who turned out Wednesday, July 12, for the Arthur Ashe Birthday Blast at the park, where they received complimentary tennis lessons and were on hand to celebrate murals created in his honor. A native of Richmond, Mr. Ashe was the first African-American male tennis player to win the U.S. Open, Australian Open and Wimbledon. He was also the first African-American male player to be ranked No. 1. Please see more photos on B2.
