I’m tennis legend who won all four Grand Slams including Australian Open and Wimbledon… now I run luxury B&B in Zimbabwe

WAYNE BLACK could be putting up his feet and resting after winning all four Grand Slams.

Instead, he is helping others relax by running a luxury B&B with his wife in Zimbabwe.

Born in 1973 in what was then Salisbury, Rhodesia - now Harare, Zimbabwe - Black and his siblings Byron and Cara were drilled into being tennis players by their former pro dad Donald. 

All three followed in their father’s footsteps - and the trio were each Grand Slam champions, with Cara the most successful on ten.

Wayne, though, enjoyed a fantastic 12-year career of his own from 1994, especially after focusing on doubles.

The diminutive 5ft 7ins star reached 69th in the singles rankings and his best performance at a major was the fourth round of the 1999 Australian Open.

But after turning his full attention to doubles, he racked up 18 career doubles titles - 14 of those with long-term partner and compatriot Kevin Ullyett - and reached world No4 in the rankings. 

That includes winning both the US Open title in 2001 followed by the Australian Open men’s doubles crown in 2005 alongside Ullyett.

Wayne also teamed up with sister Cara for 2002 French Open and 2004 Wimbledon mixed doubles glory. 

Black, 50, hung up his racket in 2006 - having made £2.6million on the court - and married former Kazakhstani tennis player and Cara’s ex-doubles partner Irina Selyutina.

The couple settled in England following his retirement, with Black even playing club tennis in Sutton.

But they got fed up with the cold British weather and decided to return to Black’s homeland of Zimbabwe, where the former tennis duo set up their guest house which has a five-star rating on Trip Advisor.
