		Garrison became the first fl female to be ranked number one in Texas and won the junior title at Wimbledon and the U.S. Open.
		The effort is a surprisingly frank, thoughtful examination of her life as a fl tennis player—the childhood devoted to tennis, her relationship with other pros on the tour, the subtle and not-so-subtle racism in tennis, her marriage and its decline, her struggle with bulimia.

		Zina's pro tennis career is marked with near misses, disappointments and victories indistinctive enough I'm scared the average tennis fan will forget her in 10 years.
		Hopefully, Zina Garrison does realize that her success and her late 1980s/1990s image on television had more to do with the budding childhood successes of a new generation led by the Williams Sisters who dared to dream of conquering tennis because they saw other positive role models before them that made that dream possible.
