When it comes to inspiring role models, Venus and Serena Williams have frequently praised all they learned from their fellow American, Zina Garrison. Over the course of 15 years as a pro, Garrison attained a career-high ranking of number four in the world and won 14 WTA singles and 20 doubles titles, as well as three Grand Slam mixed doubles championships. In 1990, at Wimbledon, she became the first black woman to reach a Grand Slam singles final since Althea Gibson had accomplished that feat 32 years earlier. Along the way, Garrison beat such notables as Stefanie Graf and Monica Seles.
