Zina Garrison

Zina Lynna Garrison (born November 16, 1963) is an American former professional tennis player. Quotes I’m thrilled to be selected captain of the US Fed Cup team and am ready for the pursuit of a championship, having learned so much from my mentor Billie Jean King. Leading the effort in representing our country in Fed Cup is a great responsibility and an opportunity for which I am very grateful. I am looking forward to the challenge. Wayback Wednesday: Zina Garrison named Fed Cup captain, December 23 2020 I am now the tennis director of Houston Parks and Recreation, I’m over all the public tennis programs and facilities. The job came open recently and I applied for it. To be honest, I was more interested in the benefits than the money. As you get older, you start thinking differently. I want to bring the public tennis facilities up to where I’d be proud, where everybody would be proud, to bring people to use our courts. There are cracks in the courts. Nothing’s really been done in the last 20 or maybe 30 years. I’ve traveled to Florida and some other places and they have really nice public courts. Tennis in Houston was really thriving for a while and we had nice courts and people could play in the parks. We had junior programs. We flourished. That’s my main goal.
