Corina Maria Morariu (born January 26, 1978) is an American former professional tennis player.
Morariu (pronounced: mo-RA-R'ju) was born in Detroit, Michigan and is of Romanian descent.[1] She turned professional in 1994. Mainly known as a doubles specialist, she won the women's doubles title at Wimbledon in 1999 with Lindsay Davenport. She also won the mixed-doubles title at the 2001 Australian Open with Ellis Ferreira. She reached the Australian Open women's doubles final with Davenport in 2005. She also reached the world No. 1 ranking in doubles in 2000.[2]
In 2001, Morariu was diagnosed with leukemia and began a program of chemotherapy.[3] During this time, Jennifer Capriati dedicated her 2001 French Open victory to Morariu.[4] After recovering from cancer, along with shoulder surgery, Morariu was largely restricted to doubles play.[2] The WTA then created the Corina Comeback Award, which was presented to Morariu by Capriati.[5]
Morariu retired from the tour in 2007. She is an International Sports Ambassador for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, and has released a memoir titled Living Through the Racket: How I Survived Leukemia...and Rediscovered My Self.[5] Following her retirement, she began working as a commentator for Tennis Channel.[6]
