Cara Black (born 17 February 1979 in Salisbury, Rhodesia, now Harare, Zimbabwe) is a professional female tennis player from Zimbabwe. She has won 7 singles titles and 63 women's doubles titles. She has won all four Grand Slam mixed doubles titles and three of the four Grand Slam titles in women's doubles. She is currently ranked World No. 28 in women's doubles.  Black has been one of the foremost doubles players of the early 21st century.

Career

Born in Rhodesia as the daughter of Don and Velia Black, the tennis-playing Cara is the younger sister of Wayne Black and Byron Black, both professional male tennis players. All three compete mostly in doubles; Wayne was the 2001 US Open and 2005 Australian Open champion and Byron was the 1994 French Open winner.  Black partnered with her brother Wayne to win the 2002 French Open and 2004 Wimbledon Championships mixed doubles events.  Black has also engaged in long-term partnerships with Elena Likhovtseva, Rennae Stubbs, Liezel Huber, Anastassia Rodionova, and most recently Shahar Pe'er.

Cara has won five Grand Slam women's doubles titles in her career: Wimbledon 2004, 2005, and 2007; Australian Open 2007; and US Open 2008. She reached the 2000 US Open doubles final with Elena Likhovtseva. She has also won three Grand Slam mixed doubles titles, two of them partnering with her brother Wayne: the 2002 French Open and the 2004 Wimbledon Championships (they reached the final of the 2004 French Open and the semifinals of the 2003 French Open and 2003 US Open); and most recently the 2008 U.S. Open with Leander Paes of India. 

In August 2005, Black announced that she would marry her longtime boyfriend, Australian mental and fitness trainer Brett Stephens. In November that year, Black was runner-up in the WTA Championships doubles title. Australian Samantha Stosur and American Lisa Raymond defeated Australian Rennae Stubbs and Black 6–7 (5–7), 7–5, 6–4.

2007 saw Black come back to partner Liezel Huber. They came together successfully, winning the 2007 Australian Open and triumphing at Wimbledon. The team ended the year as the number one team, winning the year-end championships over Katarina Srebotnik and Ai Sugiyama 5–7, 6–3, [10–8].

Black represented Zimbabwe at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. She lost to 2nd seeded Jelena Janković from Serbia in the first round on 11 August 2008. She teamed up with Leander Paes from India for the mixed doubles at the US Open, triumphing over Liezel Huber and Jamie Murray in the finals.

2009 did not see her best performances with five doubles titles leading to the year end championships in Doha, Qatar. She defended her World No. 1 title in doubles from sisters Serena Williams and Venus Williams by advancing to the final round of the year-end championships. Should she have lost in the semifinal and the sisters won the tournament, she would have lost her World No. 1 title.

Black started 2010 strongly by winning two tournaments leading up to the 2010 Australian Open, coming to the slam with an unbeaten record. Black made it to the finals in both the women's doubles and mixed doubles. She and Huber lost the women's doubles final to Venus and Serena Williams in straight sets, 6–4, 6–3. However she and Leander Paes won the mixed doubles in straight sets. The victory marked Black's first ever mixed doubles victory at the Australian Open. The victory also made her achieve a Career Grand Slam in mixed doubles.

Black and Huber broke up mutually from being exclusive doubles partners in April 2010. Since, Black partnered with Shahar Pe'er, Elena Vesnina, Zi Yan, Lisa Raymond, Daniela Hantuchová, Marina Erakovic, and Anastasia Rodionova. Even though she made the final of Warsaw and won a small tournament in Birmingham, she mostly received modest results after the break-up. Partnering with Vesnina and Hantuchova respectively, she lost in the third round of the French Open and Wimbledon. Partnering with Rodionova, she lost in the semifinals of the US Open to Vania King and Yaroslava Shvedova. Black then missed all tournaments following the US Open and did not qualify for the year end championships for the first time since 1999. Black ended 2010 ranked 13th in doubles, the first time she finished a year outside of the top 10 since 2000.

However, Black continued her successful partnership with Paes in 2010 as the pair won Mixed Doubles Title at Wimbledon and reached the quarterfinals at the US Open.

Entering the 2011 season, Black continued her partnership with Rodionova where they reached the semifinal in Brisbane but lost in the first round of Sydney. During the 2011 Australian Open, Black and Rodionova were seeded fifth and reached the quarterfinals where they lost to Huber and Nadia Petrova. In mixed doubles, Black partnered with Leander Paes and they were seeded fourth. They were eliminated in the second round by Chan Yung-jan and Paul Hanley in a tight straight sets loss, 6–7 (11), 6–7 (5). Despite Black being eliminated from both doubles and mixed doubles, Black was a sideline commentator for Seven including the grand final for ladies doubles and was present for former doubles partner Rennae Stubbs's speech.

Black then missed all tournaments following the Australian Open, including the 2011 French Open. But then, partnering with Arina Rodionova, she played at 2011 AEGON Trophy, an ITF $100,000-Tournament held in Nottingham in the second week of Roland Garros as the second seed. The pair lost in the first round.
