Arthur with a statue on Richmond's Monument Avenue (4)

I believe the answer is:

ashe

(Other definitions for ashe that I've seen before include "Former tennis star" , "Ex-Wimbledon champ" , "US court star" , "He was good enough to win Wimbledon" , "US tennis player Arthur, 1975 Wimbledon champion" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
