Elena Baltacha, who won 11 singles titles during her career, had vowed to fight the disease 'with everything I have' after breaking news of her illness in March but was pictured in a wheelchair in LAX airport in the US last month (right).
The Ukrainian-born star, who grew up in Scotland (pictured, centre, in action at Wimbledon), represented Team GB in the London Olympics in 2012. Her husband and long-term coach Nino Severino (pictured, inset) paid tribute to her as a 'beautiful, talented and determined' woman who 'touched so many people with her inspirational spirit, her warmth and her kindness.'
