Ernest Douglas Black (date of birth unknown-1931;[1] also credited as "Edmund D. Black") was a British tennis player active in the late 19th century and early 20th century.
Tennis career[edit]
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]
