MaliVai Washington began playing tennis at the age of five and won his first title at eight years old. He attended the University of Michigan, becoming a two time All American and finished his sophomore year ranked as the NCAA #1 tennis player in the nation.

In 1996, he became the first African American man to reach a grand slam singles final since Arthur Ashe when he played in the Wimbledon finals. That same year he created the MaliVai Washington Youth Foundation.
