On Sunday 4th May, Elena Baltacha died of liver cancer. She was 30 years old.
The 'Rally For Bally' will be held in memory of 'Bally', as the former British No.1 tennis player was affectionately known, on Sunday 15th June to raise funds jointly for the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity and The Elena Baltacha Academy of Tennis.
