A day in the life of Alicia and Tyra Black

A look behind the curtain of the Black sisters

The two up and coming tennis players give insights into their life and their goals

Being at the top is always worth a headline, but what about how you actually get there?

We put the limelight on the daily routine of two up and coming US-Tennis players 16-year-old Alicia and 14-year-old Tyra Black.
The video series takes a look behind the scenes and dreams of two sisters with a very different approach: Even though Alicia and Tyra share the same goal of becoming tennis professionals and winning a Grand Slam tournament, they have very different personalities and style of plays. While Alicia is the powerful all-court player with an incredible comprehension of the game, her younger sister Tyra sticks to her hard-hitting game no matter what her opponent brings.


Their passion for sport has been inherited: Growing up in an athletic household – their mom was a national swimmer in high school, their dad a former Davis Cup player and three-time Gold medal winner at the 1993 Pan Am Games – the sisters’ day is dominated by tennis, both on and off the court. While it takes a lot of hard work, practice and a strong will to reach their goals, the video series clearly shows that the two up and coming tennis players “live, sleep and breathe tennis” in a very different way. After all, there is more than one way to the top.
