Corina Morariu Photo (c) Photosport.com Though Corina Morariu has yet to win her first singles major, she already has Grand Slam crystal in her cabinet.

She did this by winning Wimbledon doubles this year with Lindsay Davenport. She seems to be becoming a doubles specialist, winning six majors with three different partners in 1999 so far.

Born in Detroit, she represents USA in international competition, including the 1996 Olympics.

UPDATE: Corina has not played this season because she is battling cancer, and by all accounts, winning.

UPDATE: 19 MAR 2002: Corina is in remission and she is returning to the WTA Tour. Click here for more.

UPDATE: 31 JUL 2002: Corina is back in action looking better than ever at the Acura Classic.
