Corina Morariu McKee is a former professional tennis player, cancer survivor, and author. She is also Kate’s neighbor. 

  

Corina made her first appearance in International Tennis Federation Circuit events in 1994 as a singles player and broke into the top 50 for the first time in 1998. In 2000 she became world No. 1 in doubles and won the 2000 Wimbledon double title with Lindsay Davenport. In 2001, after reaching the singles quarterfinals, the women’s doubles final, and earning her second Grand Slam doubles title at the Australian Open, she was diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukemia and withdrew from the tour for the rest of the season. 

 

Following chemotherapy in 2002 she returned to competition in doubles and received the WTA's first "Corina Comeback Award," presented by Jennifer Capriati. She spent the 2005 season playing exclusively in doubles, highlighted by reaching her third Grand Slam final at the Australian Open, her first major doubles final in four years. 

 

Corina retired from the tour in 2007. She is an International Sports Ambassador for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, and the author of a memoir titled: Living Through the Racket: How I Survived Leukemia...and Rediscovered My Self

  

She is married to Ryan McKee, and the mother of two children.
