When Zina Speaks, You Listen
Manage episode 266416470 series 2362029
We've just had the pleasure of chatting with the legendary Zina Garrison, gold medalist in Seoul, 3-time major mixed doubles champ, and the 1990 Wimbledon runner-up. Zina chats about her origins in tennis, shares her experience as a black woman in a very white sport, and takes us through some of the highlights of a great career. As Zina herself says, "Zina doesn't say much but when she does . . . " -- well, you listen.
4:10 Our chat with Lady Z
8:50 Zina takes us through her introduction to tennis, the first all-black WTA final (with Lori McNeil), and getting a kick out of her own record against Martina Navratilova
18:00 That Monica Seles flowers incident (lol) and beating Chris Evert in her final match
22:00 Zina's 1990 Wimbledon run, 30 years later
26:00 "Now people can't say those things didn't happen" - how Black Lives Matter has shone a light on inequality in tennis
34:10 Althea Gibson as more than just an icon
38:00 So ... about the wiggle
41:00 The game since Zina retired - who's she watching now?
