ProfiloIN ENGLISH

Wayne Hamilton Black (born 14 November 1973) is a Zimbabwean tennis coach and a former professional player. Black turned professional in 1994 and reached his highest singles ranking of No. 69 on 30 March 1998. He is the son of former player Don Black, the younger brother of fellow ATP Tour player Byron Black, with the pair forming the mainstay of the Zimbabwe Davis Cup team for over a decade. He was the coach of Estonian player Mark Lajal in 2024-2025. Black struggled for consistency in his singles game and by the new millennium had converted to a doubles specialist, in which he experienced greater success. He won two men's doubles Grand Slam titles at the 2001 U.S. Open and 2005 Australian Open with compatriot Kevin Ullyett, as well as two Grand Slam mixed doubles titles at the 2002 French Open and 2004 Wimbledon with sister Cara Black. He reached his career-high doubles ranking of world No. 4 on 31 January 2005, following his second Grand Slam title win, and retired from professional play in 2006.
