Draw a diagram, putting Marina's sister and son directly across the net from each other. It doesn't matter whether they're on the left or the right side of the diagram.
Now, try putting Marina's daughter on the same side as the sister. The daughter will be diagonally across from the son (the best player's sibling), meaning that the best player is the daughter. Since the daughter (the best player) is on the same side as the sister, the sister must be the worst player. Try putting Marina's daughter next to the son. The Marina will be the best player, but the sister will still be the worst.
That should help!

Great teaser!
At first I was concerned because we weren't given enough information to place some of the individuals properly, but then realized that no matter how I placed them, the answer was always still that the Aunt is the worst player.
Clever!
