MaliVai "Mal" Washington (/mælɪˈviːə/ mal-ih-VEE-ə)[1] (born June 20, 1969) is an American former professional tennis player.

His younger brother, Mashiska, received All-America honors at Michigan State University, before joining the men's professional tour.

He also had wins over Michael Chang and Stefan Edberg during the US Summer hard court season, and won his third ATP-title in Ostrava in October.

[5][8] He gained revenge against Krajicek in the Grand Slam Cup in October later that year, beating him for the loss of just three games (6–1, 6–2).

Washington suffered from a recurring knee injury from the beginning of 1997, causing him to miss most of the 1997 and 1999 seasons, and precipitating his retirement in December 1999.
