Scottish tennis stars backed by Black & Lizars

Sporting siblings the Macintosh brothers are continuing to benefit from sponsorship by Black & Lizars in their bid for tennis stardom.

The contact lens wearing brothers are both moving onwards and upwards adding to their substantial on-court success helped by three years of backing by the Scottish optical retail group.

Eighteen-year-old Douglas has been accepted on a scholarship to Davidson College in North Carolina, USA to play tennis and study economics and mathematics. Lachie, (14), is following in his brother’s footsteps after being awarded a place in Merchiston’s Tennis Academy for the next four years.

Douglas’ scholarship follows a successful year for the former Merchiston team captain. The team took second place at the International Schools Sport Federation Tennis World School championships in Recife, Brazil this March. He also holds two junior International Tennis Federation doubles titles.
