What happened exactly on that day?

On this day, October 28 in 1990, 14-year old Jennifer Capriati won her first WTA singles title in San Juan, Puerto Rico. To achieve this, the American prodigy defeated world No 8 Zina Garrison in the final (5-7, 6-4, 6-2).

Despite her young age, Capriati wasn’t the youngest player to win a WTA tournament, a record held by Tracy Austin (14 years and 28 days). But she did became the fourth-youngest to do so title after Austin, Kathy Rinaldi and Andrea Jaeger and entered the top 10 for the first time – but wouldn’t become world No 1 until 2001, 11 years later.

The players: Jennifer Capriati and Zina Garrison

  • Jennifer Capriati: the American prodigy who stormed the WTA Tour in 1990

Jennifer Capriati was born in March, 1976 in Long Island, New York. In 1986, her family moved to Florida where, under the guidance of Chris Evert’s father, Jimmy, she became a real tennis prodigy. Her power-packed groundstrokes were quite revolutionary in women’s tennis. At 13, she won the junior event at Roland-Garros , and she turned pro the next year, before even turning 14.

In March of 1990, she reached the final of the first WTA tournament she entered, in Boca Raton, and was barely beaten by world No 2 Gabriela Sabatini (6-4, 7-5). A few weeks later, in Charleston, she defeated world No 5 Arantxa Sanchez (6-1, 6-1) and finished runner-up to Martina Navratilova (6-2, 6-4).

Already ranked No 24, Capriati then became the youngest player to ever reach the final four at Roland-Garros, where she eliminated world No 8 Mary Joe Fernandez, before losing to Monica Seles (6-2, 6-2). Defeated in the US Open fourth round by world No 1 Steffi Graf (6-1, 6-1), Capriati was already ranked No 11 in the world.

  • Zina Garrison: the girl who went from Houston’s public parks to the Wimbledon final

Zina Garrison was born in 1963 in Houston, Texas. She learned tennis in John Wilkerson’s public parks program in Houston and soon drew attention by becoming the first black player to be ranked No 1 in Texas. She claimed the first of her six titles in Zurich in 1984, defeating Claudia Kohde-Kilsch in the final (6-1, 0-6, 6-2) and broke into the top 10 that same year.

In 1985, she reached the semi-finals at Wimbledon (defeated by Martina Navratilova, 6-4, 7-6), which would remain her best Grand Slam result until the 1988 US Open . That time, in New York, she beat Navratilova for the first time in 22 attempts (6-4, 6-7, 7-5) but was defeated in the semi-finals by Sabatini (6-4, 7-5). In 1990, she achieved her biggest career result when she beat Monica Seles and Steffi Graf to reach the final at Wimbledon, where she went down to Navratilova (6-4, 6-1).

The place: San Juan, Puerto Rico

The first edition of the Puerto Rico Open was held in 1971 but it was not until 1986 that the tournament was played every year on hard courts in San Juan. In 1990, with a total prize money of $150,000, its top two seeds were Garrison, the recent Wimbledon finalist, and Capriati, the teenager who was taking the WTA circuit by storm.

The facts: Capriati changes tactics after losing first set to win in three

At the 1990 Puerto Rico Open, the top two seeds faced each other in the final, which pleased the crowd as well as the tournament organisers. Garrison, runner-up at Wimbledon just a few months earlier, had dropped only one set on her way to the finals while Capriati had yet to lose a single set. The 14-year old prodigy was the main attraction of the tournament, and now she had the opportunity to achieve a milestone by claiming her maiden title.

In the first set, Garrison dominated the game from the baseline, keeping Capriati off-balance and winning it 7-5. The teenager, who was struggling with her serve, then decided to change tactics, taking the net no less than 28 times in the next two sets, and winning 20 of those points. To go with that, Capriati made only eight unforced errors, and finally prevailed, 5-7, 6-4, 6-2. Thanks to her first title, the 14-year old also secured her spot at the year-end WTA Tour Championships.

“What a way to end the year,” Capriati said. “Winning here will always be special.”

Garrison also acknowledged the strong play of her younger opponent. “She got her rhythm going in the third set and hit a lot of winners,” Garrison said.

What next? Capriati burns out but returns to become world No 1

In 1991, Zina Garrison would exit from the top 10. In 1994, she would reach the Wimbledon quarter-finals for the last time, going down to Gigi Fernandez (6-4, 6-4) and eventually retire in 1997.

In 1991 and 1992, Capriati would keep rising, reaching the semi-finals at Wimbledon and the US Open, and clinching the gold medal at the Barcelona Olympic Games (defeating Graf, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4).

Unfortunately, she would then struggle to handle the pressure put on her young shoulders by the media and in 1994, she would even quit tennis temporarily.

Back on the tour in 1996, she would not achieve any noteworthy results until the 2000 Australian Open, where she would reach the semi-finals. This would be mark her renaissance; from 2001 to her retirement in 2004, Capriati would never leave the top 10 again, winning three Grand Slam titles (the Australian Open in 2001 and 2002, and Roland-Garros in 2001), and reaching the semi-finals on six other occasions. In October 2001, Capriati would go on to become world No 1, 11 years after her first title in Puerto Rico. She was also inducted into the Tennis Hall of Fame in 2012.

The 6 WTA legends to spend a full calendar year as world No 1

Getting to world No 1 is arguably the greatest achievement in tennis and something that countless young players will hope to achieve at some stage during their careers.

Only 29 women have ever been able to reign as world No 1 on the WTA Tour, and some have well and truly owned their time at the top of the rankings.

Some of the most dominant No 1 players in history, we look at the six women who have spent a full calendar year as the best player in the world.

Chris Evert – 1977, 1981

An all-time great with 18 Grand Slam singles titles to her name, Chris Evert was the first ever WTA world No 1, holding the top spot when the rankings were launched in November 1975.

Except for two weeks in 1976 when she was retrospectively knocked off the top spot by Evonne Goolagong, Evert reigned as world No 1 until July 1978, encompassing the whole of 1977.

The next decade saw her embark on an incredible rivalry with Martina Navratilova to hold the top ranking, with the two dominating the late 1970s and early 1980s.

One of Evert’s most successful periods in that battle saw her hold the No 1 ranking throughout 1981, claiming the top spot from November 1980 to May 1982.

In total, Evert spent 260 weeks as No 1 during her career.

Martina navratilova – 1983, 1984, 1986.

Matching Evert’s 18 Grand Slam titles, Navratilova is another all-time great, famously winning six Wimbledon titles in a row during the 1980s – and holding the No 1 ranking for 332 weeks.

A staggering 275 of those weeks came during the 1980s, and she reigned for a full calendar year on three separate occasions.

The first two of those years came consecutively during the most dominant period of her career, with a 156-week spell from June 1982 to June 1985 seeing her spend the whole of 1983 and 1985 at the top.

After reclaiming the world No 1 spot from Evert at the end of 1985, she reigned until her final week at the top in August 1987, a 90-week spell that encompassed all of 1986.

Steffi Graf – 1988, 1989, 1990, 1994, 1996

With 377 weeks as the world No 1 player, no other woman in history can claim to have spent as long at the top as Graf, a 22-time major winner.

It was the German who dislodged Navratilova from the top spot in August 1987 and she did not lose that ranking until March 1991, a joint record of 186 consecutive weeks holding the No 1 ranking.

That saw he spend the entirety of 1988 – when she won the Golden Calendar Slam – 1989, and 1990 as No 1, though she did not stop there.

Another reign at world No 1 came from June 1993 to February 1995, encompassing 1994, while she won three major titles in 1996, allowing her to again spend the whole calendar year as the best player in the world.

Monica seles – 1992.

One of the sport’s greatest competitors and a nine-time Grand Slam champion, Monica Seles is one of the most revered players in tennis history.

She was undoubtedly the best player in the world when she was infamously stabbed on court in April 1993 – what she could have potentially achieved had that not happened is the biggest ‘what if?’ in the sport.

However, she won eight Grand Slam titles before that, and wrestled control of her rivalry with Graf.

After ending 1991 as the year-end world No 1, Seles won three of the four majors in 1992 and reached the Wimbledon final, enabling her to stay at the top for all of that year.

Serena Williams – 2014, 2015

A 23-time Grand Slam champion who spent 319 weeks as world No 1 across her career, Williams may just be the greatest female player of them all.

Williams first reached the No 1 ranking in 2002 but it wasn’t until a decade later she reached the astonishing peak of her career, dominating the early 2010s.

After reclaiming the top spot in February 2013, the American held onto that ranking until September 2016, matching Graf’s run of 186 straight weeks as No 1.

That staggering run saw her hold the top spot through 2014 and 2015, a period that saw her complete the second ‘Serena Slam’.

Ashleigh Barty – 2020, 2021

One of the most successful players in the post-Serena era, Barty’s career was short but incredibly sweet.

The Australian won French Open and Wimbledon titles before famously capturing her home major in 2022, and then retiring just a few weeks later.

Barty first got to No 1 in June 2019 and after ending that season as No 1, held onto the top spot throughout 2020, due to the COVID-19 rules put in place by the WTA Tour.

Her Wimbledon title in 2021 enabled her to spend the whole year as No 1 also, while she was still at the top spot when she retired in March 2022.
