Hurricane Tyra Black is an American pickleball player and inactive tennis player, born on March 2, 2001, and the sister of Tornado Alicia Black. The sisters are the children of Sylvester Black, who played for the Jamaican Davis Cup team, and Gayal Black. She earned the nickname Hurricane at the age of three, when her parents tried to make the two girls more marketable as professional tennis players, and she was coached in tennis by Rick Macci. Her first ITF title came in doubles on clay in Antalya, Turkey, in December 2020, partnering the Swiss player Svenja Ochsner, and in 2022 she won two 15k professional singles titles within three weeks, both in Antalya.
