Tennis career
Black reached the quarterfinals of the U.S. National Championships in 1900, losing to the only other competing British player, future three-time Wimbledon champion Arthur Gore. He competed in the very first edition of the Davis Cup (then known as the International Lawn Tennis Challenge) in 1900.[2]
