Hard luck at Indian Wells. Expecting great things coming up though (eg Wimbeldon).

Awesome work on your Memphis win!  I was monitoring your progress online, and was so stoked when I saw the final result!  Keep up the great work - New Zealand is so proud of you :)

 Congratulations Marina!!!!  

knew you could do it

Congratulations on your first title and magnificent trophy - certainly the best place to win a trophy isn't it? Really thrilled to see you serve so well and bang those forehand and backhand winners. Hope you enjoy skydiving with Christian - well done - onwards and upwards ! - You're Glendowie's first WTA champion ! Stuart from Glendowie

Well done Marina - I watched your excellent semi-final win today over Voegele and I was really impressed with your serving and forehand and the fact that you listened to your great coach at the crucial moment in the second set, slowed Voegele down and forced the mistakes ! All the best for the final ! Always Victory ! Stuart from Glendowie

Hello Marina,

Congratulations on your two tie-break wins today in Texas in singles and doubles. It was fun to see you save so many match points against Abnne Keothavong and then take your one and only match point to win the match. And then in the doubles you and Heather Watson also dug deep in the tie breaker too. You definitely have developed alot of resilience lately and I hope this tournament will be a biggie for you - will be watching for your livescores while doing my day job on the computer ! All the best ! Stuart M

Greetings from Serbia.

good luck best wishes from me besti 

 Wow! I was looking through the London Olympis 2012 official wesite and found you. I thought you looked interesting as the first kiwi I found on my favourite sport, tennis! My intermediate is doing a homework challenge were we have to pick an olympian to write about and how they used the five keys(Our school has '5 keys to school success' which includes 'Confidence, Persistence, Getting along, Resilience and Organisation'). I think I have found a great person to represent them! Good like for all your games! Keep up the outstanding work! :)

 GOOD LUCK IN THE OLYMPICS THIS YEAR!!!
REPRESENT THE KIWIS WELL!!!!

 I go to a rural primary school in Te Awamutu in NZ and I have chosen you to learn about and follow your progress in the Olympics for a study my class is doing. I play tennis and I have always been interested in what you were doing. I hope you do well in the Olympics!!! :)

Well done with keeping your nerve and securing the doubles win! Good luck with the Olympics

Big fan back here (not that TV helps, hopefully better in the Olympics.) Best of luck with your next rounds. Thanks for showing the world what Kiwis (and Croatian Kiwis) can do!

Well done on winning your first round at Wimbledon! Good Luck for the second round. Wish we were there again this year watching you.

Hey Marina

Amazing to hear you made the semi's in Budapest - good luck and all the best. Hopefully get to watch you at Wimbledon. You’re certainly doing NZ proud :)

Great to see that ranking edging up into the mid forties. This is always an exiting time of the year for you - the clay season and then England and Wimbeldon. I went to University in Nottingham so I follow your progress through this time. (I also played at Wimbeldon in a schools tournament when I lived in England - don't worry way off your standard).

Happy Birthday Marina, from one who shares your wonderful birthday.  Best wishes for Indian Wells and the rest of 2011.

Hi Marina, all the best against Sofia in Memphis!

 Congratulations on making the final At Memphis I really hope u win I'll be watching live scoring on my WTA live scoring ap. so exciting you can do it!!!!!!!!!

great game at the austrailian open vs Irena Pavlovic. hope you win the next game and I am also a big fan.

Congratulations on you and Elena getting to the Linz doubles final - I'm glad to see you with a partner who loves to have fun on court like you do and is such a great talent at the game - a winning combination I'm sure! Elena's my favourite doubles player (next to you) so I'm glad you've teamed up. I've been to her home town of Sochi and it's the closest place in Russia I've seen to Glendowie! Lots of fun outdoor summer sports and even close enough to go and ski on the same day. So I hope you play together again after hopefully winning your first doubles title of the year! Always Victory! (?????? ??????!) Stuart (from Glendowie)

     Hi Marina, Excellent effort in Quebec .... regardless of final result .... you have had an exceptional year to get yourself back into the top echelon of Woman's tennis where you rightfully belong, and don't fret Marina you will WIN that first wta final and then it will flow for you to win that elusive grand slam title. You deserve it ..... from a long time Fan.

Congratulations on such a fantastic year so far. You were on tonights sports news (which is quite a feat, considering all the World Cup Rugby activities going on here!) so I just wanted to wish you all the best, and let you know a lot of people are watching you from little old NZ. You have had a blinder of a tournament so far, so go for gold! Good luck :)

Good luck at the final of Quebec City!

Dear Marina, Could you please try to win your matches more decisively in future.  It's much too nerve-wracking following you playing tight matches on the Internet :)

Wow!!!!

What an awsome result for you and your career. Been following you on Tennis NZ and you have certainly sent a message to the world of tennis that you are a top player and able to compete and win against the best.  Champions make their own luck, so all the best for your next challenge, go for it. 

Well done! ONWARDS and UPWARDS!! We urge you on ALWAYS!! Love Jackie

Good luck in Quebec City! I honestly think you can win it. You are an amazing player.

Good Luck for the hardcourt season and preparation for US open

Awesome result in Carlsbad again. Three wins in a row including a top 40 player. Hang tough.

Well done in Stanford winning 4/5 matches in a row. Great that you enjoy what you do. I think that is important.

Hey,

we've been following you since the phenomenal run in 2008 and have both been pullin' for you in the injury-plagues '09 and '10 seasons. We <b>never stopped believing in your talent</b>. A family member in NZ that plays top level tennis told us for years that you'd have a strong future!! We know a little of what youre going through, since we're both trying hard to make it in competitive international fields. Just go out there and make it happen, we believe in you Marina!

Awesome to see the kick-ass clay and grass seasons... and so far a phenomenal start on the hard courts. Keep it up, we know you can do it kiddo! 

Hey Marina congrats for doing so well in Stanford =)

I'ma big fan - way to put NZ on the map for tennis, and for hopefully starting a NZ tennis revival =P 

Wishing you all the best for the rest of the year!

God bless =)

Good luck for the up coming matches this weekend. You are doing so great Marina. A real inspiration. So glad you didn't give tennis way after your injuries.

 Everyone knows who won (4-3) that penalty shootout @ASB2010 ;)

Boa Constrictor. Pop a painkiller before. Endure the Win. Good Luck.

Any True Fan knows the player doesn't win by themselves. We get them to. Duty Beckons ! :P

 Congrats on beating the World Number 4 Victoria Azarenka at the Standford Classic!! I'm sure it would have been a fantastic match can't wait to see highlights on the 6'o clock news tonight! This is a proud moment for many Kiwi's and you are inspiration to all, after your injury struggles you have come and bet the World number 4! no mean feat! A typical kiwi punching above your weight! It reminds of the ASB Classic a few years back when you beat Vera. Anyway just wanted to say congrats and all the best for the rest of the year and especially the US open qualifying!!

Wow! Amazing! Good on you beating Victoria Azarenka! I was so excited to find that out!!! Keep it up! :)

Have followed your career over the last few years and watched you play in Auckland. Just saw about your brilliant win over Azarenka. Excellent!! You make us Kiwi's proud.  Jan

heya marina, just wathced your game on the computer at home, thats if you can call watching the live scores update "watching", totally stoked by your win girl, lead the News on radio sport at 1100 hours this friday morning, gonna go out and have a lunch time beer to celebrate, keep giving it your best, you dont get the recognition you deserve, onwards and upwards, guess this will get u into the top 100

Hey Marina - what an amazing win over Victoria Azarenka!! This has truly been your masterpiece so far! Keep on playing like that! Best wishes from Germany.

Congratulations to Marina for a great year, to be continued! And special thanks to Marina and Tamarine for playing fierce tennis into and through the semis at Wimbledon. You deserve more pumped press here in NZ where your beautiful, strong play is followed by avid, appreciative fans. Wishing you powerful, happy tennis! :)

Hi Marina

I watched you in the quarters in the doubles at Wimbledon and you played really well, it was a great match and you kept fighting to the end. I played against you at Kohi TC in the club champs about 7 years so its great to see you winning at Wimbledon. Good luck on centre court today!!!

Geri

Wow, that was an amazing Wimbledon quarter finals double win today over the third best team 13-11 - you and Tammy are playing brilliantly! So a Wimblesdon semi-final - could you have believed that this time a year ago? So congratulations for becoming a great singles player and a superb doubles player! What a Wimblesdon!

Congratulations! onwards and upwards! Here's to the next round! Good luck and God Bless. Jackie

Hey Marina

great result today...all the best for the 2nd round.

Hopefully will be there to watch.

Hi Marina,

You are an inspiration for NZ tennis. You show commitment and hard work pay off.

Good luck for Wimbleton!!!!

Cheers

Rick 

its amazing how you have come back strongly, we have always thought that you have the ability to take on and win against the best in the world. we are so proud of you. Kia kaha kia maia Marina.

Good luck and make New Zealand proud!! God Bless.

 Congratulations Marina on your entry into the French Open. I knew Mladen when I was on the tankers and he told us all about you when you were just starting out. He was so proud of you and I'm sure he still is!

Congratulations on making the main draw at the french open. I hope every bounce of the ball goes your way (an that Kim gets knocked out in the first!) Wave the flag!

 Huge effort qualifying for the French Open and great to make it by dispatching a top 100 player (#2 Cetkovska) at the final hurdle.  Hope you can do some damage in the main draw!

Onwards and upwards Marina!! Kiwi, kiwi, kiwi....oi...oi...oi!! Jackie

CONGRATULATIONS!!! what an amazing two weeks, you've done so well! i was bouncing up and down with joy when you won in mexico, your playing so amazingly at the moment, keep it up!!!

Good luck for your training and we hope to see you back in NZ soon. :D

Congratulations Marina on your great ITF win in Mexico. I hope this will be the turning point for a successful year. Go get em! Always Victory! Stuart from Glendowie

Hello Marina,

I want to wish you good luck for your final in Mexico! Big congrats already for reaching the final!

oh and i just wanted to say, I'm starting Glendowie College this yr!! haha

Oh my gosh, you did so well in Auckland this year! Singles was unfortunate but boy did you do amazingly in doubles, getting to the final as a NZer is pretty impressive (the last time that happened was in 2005!). Your match was tough and it was good to see how well you and Sofia played together! Just wanted to tell you that NZ is soooo proud of you and good luck in the Aussie Open, kick some Aussie but for us ! ;)

Happy New Year! XD

Hey Marina

Just wanted to say that even though I'm not a tennis player, I still love to watch you play. You're an awesome player and NZ is lucky to have a talented player in you.

I watched you play in the doubles at the ASB Classic and you and your partner played extremely well for a team that has not played together before. Reaching the final is a fantastic achievement-you should be proud of yourself! I'm sure NZ is.

Congrats again and good luck for the rest of 2011!

Happy New Year Marina and God Bless. May all your balls land in the right place! We are with you all the way. Jackie

Hey, I am a young tennis player who is totally inspired by you! I'm happy to see you got the wildcard for the ASB Classic and that I get to watch you play in NZ again! Hope it all goes well and good luck! :)

I just want to say congrats with your great tourny in Birmingham. Great you recieved a WCQ for Wimbly. Take your changes, and soon you will be back higher in the ranking :)

 Hey Marina , watched your first round match on monday. Champion serving by you! You must be tired after today, but good luck for tomorrow

Watching your year with interest. I am a keen fan. Great you are doing so well in doubles and wish you luck for the semis.
