The world of tennis was rallying behind former British No 1 Elena Baltacha after she revealed that she has been diagnosed with cancer of the liver.
Elena Baltacha broke the news with a brief statement, saying, 'I have recently been diagnosed with cancer of the liver. I’m currently undergoing treatment and fighting the illness with everything that I have.'
A stream of good wishes quickly flooded in for the 30-year-old, who only retired in November 2013 and married her long time coach and partner Nino Severino shortly before Christmas.
Despite battling a chronic liver condition for most of her career Baltacha rose to become a top 50 player, regular winner of matches in the Grand Slams and stalwart of Great Britain’s Fed Cup team.
