built 349 days ago
Zina Garrison received a one-year contract to stay on as U.S. Fed Cup captain, while Billie Jean King retired Tuesday as a coach for the team. Garrison became the first African-American captain in the Cup's 41-year history when she was named last year.

In 2002, King dismissed Capriati from the Fed Cup team, saying Capriati had violated rules that forbade bringing along and practicing with personal coaches. Opinion was sharply divided, with many supporting King's decision but many feeling the punishment was too harsh, especially in hindsight when Monica Seles and Lisa Raymond were defeated by lower-ranked Austrians Barbara Schett and Barbara Schwartz. The following year, Zina Garrison Jackson succeeded King as Fed Cup captain.

Zina Garrison will replace Billie Jean King as captain of the United States Fed Cup team next season. Garrison becomes the country's first black Fed Cup captain in the event's 40-year history. King is stepping aside after leading the United States to three Fed Cup titles since 1995. She will stay on as an assistant coach, the same position Garrison held since 1999.
