Marti Rodriguez

Induction Year: 2010

 

Martha “Marti” Eileen Rodriguez (1948–2007) was born on May 13, 1948, in Austin, Texas. She attended New Braunfels High School and later studied at the University of Texas at Austin, UT Arlington, and the University of North Texas. Though Marti played only recreational tennis, her love for the game was deep. She found her place in the sport when she joined the staff of the Texas Tennis Association in October 1983. She especially cherished her time helping with tournaments and witnessing young players discover the game she loved.

​

Marti passed away on April 17, 2007, following a courageous two-year battle with cancer. Her legacy has been honored through the Marti Rodriguez Memorial Challenger tournament held annually in Austin and a scholarship fund administered by the Texas Tennis and Education Foundation.
