tennis lessons i started to play and get better and so did arthur ashe was treating five blocks down the street i played in high school but then football got in the way so i got a scholarship to play at the university of richmond my parents like that a little bit more. so i was a wide receiver at the university of richmond men the professional scout started to look because i had good statistics and we were transporting this team into a winning team for a change so i was drafted to the detroit lions in the 11th round and 86 draft i never imagined playing football in college because i was was all wide receiver on a running team in high school that is not what i aspired to be an nfl football player but i am always up for a challenge and went to training camp i thought that would be the end of my football career but then the dallas cowboys picked me up for the so i went to the cowboys but then i started graduate school at the university of virginia and i am thinking how do i go to graduate school and play football? my professor said we will take care of that so they videotaped the course

show time, its vibrant. >> reporter: but when katrina adams started playing tennis in 1975, it was arthur ashe who everyone wanted a picture of. seven years after his 1968 u.s.p win had blown open the doors of u.s. tennis for african american men, ashe was a sensation. it meant a lot to see him playing this sport that i had gost picked up. yoack to 1968 and you look at what was happening in america from a civil rights perspective from a humanitarian perspective. and then you see arthur ashe win and raise that trophy and you know there's no greater moment in history i think for us in tennis than that because it really started to transcend and transform how tennis was viewed in america. >> reporte ashe's additional grand slam wins in australia in 1970, and wimbledon in 1975, established him as one the world's greatest. rit his triumphs stand as the last time an amecan male player of color has won each event. michael chang won the french open in 1989, the last time a snon-white, american man played in a grand slam singles final. in 1996 he was the last american male person of color to even appear

they are in to the third set in the arthur ashe stadium where it is 4—3 to nadal. towards playing professional football. the retired athlete — who holds the record for the 100 and 200 metres — came—on as a sub for the australian a league side — the central coast mariners in a pre—season friendly. he's hoping to impress enough to get a deal ahead of the new season — however he was unable to take this chance — ironically hejust wasnt quick enough. now, we're now going to take you back exactly 50 years ago today. that was when the legendary west indies all—rounder sir garfield sobers became the first player to hit six sixes in a first class match. he was playing in a county championship game for nottinghamshire against glamorgan — and malcolm nash was the unfortunate bowler on the receiving end of cricketing history. i don't think i've changed my story in 50 years, to be perfectly honest with you. i have no reason to change my thoughts on what i was trying to do. when you play a game against the best player that's ever played this game, all you want to do is get them

before that, there's coverage of former winners novak djokovic and roger federer‘s matches out on arthur ashehe fourth test will get underway on thursday at southampton. india won the last game but england lead the 5 match series 2—1 . i think it feels good. obviously, we will know more later on today, but the swelling has gone down and it's a lot better than i thought it would be. if i'm not able to keep wicket, i would like to think i will play as a specialist batsman but at the same time, i'm desperate to still try and keep my place as the keeper. there are some very good football matches to come later this week. as wales and england fight it out for a place in next year's women's world cup. should england avoid defeat they'll keep their qualification hopes alive, but for the welsh, a win would send them straight into their first world cup in france next year. it's obviously a huge game, probably the biggest one in terms of international football that any of us international football that any of us have ever had and it's the sort of game you want to play in. so there's very little pressure

and i think he's going to be a world figure the way arthur ashe was, the way billy jean king -- ali didrt out wanting to change the world. he didn't want to be drafted. he didn't want to be in vietnam. over his life he became an important figure in the area of social justice. lebron is only 33 years old. think how far he can go with this. and, again, as kimberly was saying, you look at this, both sides of this debate. he can't just say that he's angry at what lebron james said. he has to imply that he's stupid. it's like when meryl streep took out after him. not only did he not like that, she was a bad actress, too. he ascribes all of these other qualities to people who have hurt his feelings. but he can't win this fight with lebron james. i keep saying this, nicolle. one guy starting the i promise school. the other guy comes at this from trump university. >> that's a good point. you've also got the sinister and the ugly under belly of trump and his supporters, not just tolerating the racism of donald trump's presidency, but cheering him on. i mean, it's chilling to watch the video of h

. >> reporter: well, i can tell you this-- being cool, john, here at arthur ashe stadium is a 11ate of mind. but the heat was so oppressive-- oppressive--114 degrees on the court-- that tennis officials offi forced to change the state of play. s> the heat is. iv reporter: on day 3 at the ers open in queens, it was survival of the fittest for both players and fans. how do you stand it? iv well, lots of water. they give out free ice at the stores, so. >> reporter: the tournament announced a new heat policy for men, allowing for 10-minute breaks between sets. in coram, new york, the heat turned deadly when an 11-year- old girl was pulled unconscious from this car parked in a driveway. e gihe time an ambulance got the girl to a hospital, she was weonounced dead. the hot weather has become business as usual in washington, d.c. today's high of 94 degrees meant -de nation's capital has had 37 90-degree days this summer. >> you can't be outside for too long. we're slowly melting. >> reporter: in boston, where today's high was a record 98 degrees, not only has this been the hottest august on re

nadal faces canada's vasek pospisil on arthur ashe later.ce, after his first—round tie was cut short when david ferrer retired hurt. aiming for a 14th grand slam title, novak djokovic beat hungary's marton fucsovics in four sets after struggling in the extreme humidity. the two—time champion looked unsteady on his feet at times, and needed the trainer to give him tablets for sickness. but after losing the second set, he steadied to win the next two, 6—4, 6—0, making it through in four sets. australian open champion caroline wozniacki eased into the second round with a straight—sets win over sam stosur. wozniacki is the highest women's seed left in the draw, and took the match 6—3, 6—2, stosur making 33 unforced errors in total. wozniacki faces ukraine's lesia tsurenko next. i'm feeling pretty good. didn't have the ideal lead—up to the tournament, but you know, body—wise i'm feeling great right now, and it was a good test today, obviously with the heat and playing sam. so i'm pleased with how i'm feeling, and i'm hoping, step—by—step, i can p
