In October 2010, Hiberno International and Marta signed a long term management agreement that will bring her to the heights she has the ability to reach. Marta has begun the upward curve needed by undergoing an intensive training camp in the Republic of Ireland at the Tennis Ireland BNP-Paribas National Academy in Dublin under the guidance of the Internationally respected Garry Cahill (former Ireland Fed Cup team captain and current Ireland Davis Cup team captain).[3]

She lives in London with her partner, former 2011 US Open – Boys' Singles champion Oliver Golding.[4]
