Tennis Auckland would like to congratulate Marina and her doubles partner Tamarine Tanasugam (THA) for making the Semi finals of Wimbledon. What a fantastic achievement - we were all hoping the overnight delay would work in their favour!!!! Marina has worked so hard to get back to top tennis fitness and also made the second round of the singles – wow Marina, as our 2010 – 2011 Tennis Auckland "Player of the Year" (for the 9th time) we are so very proud of you and your "pay day" will no doubt help!!
