Zina Garrison is the most under rated player. Her serve, volley and anticipation of the moves is excellent.

Zina Garrison such a joy to watch when she was playing well. A great mover with great touch and feel. At Wilbledon, she had career wins over Steffi (1990), Monica (1990), Gaby (1988) and Arantxa (1994). At the US Open she beat Martina Navratilova (1988) and Chris Evert (1989). She managed to push Steffi hard on a number of occasions. Apart from Zina's Wimbledon win, their 1991 Brighton match was amazing (5-7, 6-4, 6-1 to Steffi) and their 1992 Boca Raton match was really tough, Steffi winning 6-0, 5-7, 7-5)

Also Davenport at the US Open in 95. Her footwork was dreamy. Navratilova said she was the fasted player she ever played. Baffling that she never won a doubles slam with those volleys.

I am not sure that Steffi was sacred of Zina and Lori but Steffi probably had a healthy respect for their talent and althetic abilities

Was this match after the Wimbledon Semi Final or before?

San Diego is always AFTER Wimbledon - a few weeks later

It was Steffi´s 2nd event after the Wimbledon defeat. She had won Toronto the week before San Diego (against Katerina Maleeva) and she won San Diego as well beating Maleeva-Fragniere, Katerina Maleeva´s sister.

Zina and Lori were amazing athletes so good at volleying and scared Steffi (and beat her at Wimbledon)

Graf was a combined 21-4 against them. Pretty sure she wasn't scared of them.
