That's quite shocking, she only said she had it two months ago.

Oh no .
This is tragic and terrible news .
Elena gave sterling service to tennis in this country for a long while and was a fantastically determined competitor.
I saw her play a number of times and always appreciated her style of play.
My sincere condolences to her family and all those close to her.
30 is far too young an age to pass away .
