Morariu - 2008, 2009
Corina
is of Romanian heritage and turned professional in 1994.
Morariu's highest singles ranking was No. 29 in 1998 but
excelled in doubles play and was ranked the world's number
one female doubles player in 2000 mostly with Davenport
as her partner. In May of 2001, Morariu was diagnosed with
leukemia and began a treatment program of chemotherapy.
Fortunately, Corina made a full recovery and returned to
competition in 2002. She was awarded the "Corina Comeback"
Award by Jennifer Capriati. In 2002-3 Corina injured her
shoulder which required surgery and later suffered a knee
injury that kept her from competing for the rest of the

Due to all her injuries, Corina opted to retire in 2007
and to continue her broadcasting career as one of the main
