"We're in this together": Martina Navratilova catches up and shows support for best friend Chris Evert amid cancer diagnosis

Martina Navratilova has visited her best friend, Chris Evert amid her recent cancer diagnosis. Evert recently revealed the devastating news that her ovarian cancer had returned.
Evert will not head to the Australian Open as a result, but will commentate on the other three Grand Slams in 2024. Navratilova herself has only just beaten cancer again after fearing that it would be the last year of her life and as a result has been there for her friend.
Remaining strong amid diagnosis
"Since I was first diagnosed with cancer two years ago, I've been very open about my experience. I wanted to give all of you an update. My cancer is back," Evert said via ESPN. "I will be unable to join my colleagues when ESPN makes its return to Melbourne for the Australian Open next month. But I'll be ready for the rest of the Grand Slam season!" she added.
Navratilova battled throat and breast cancer in 2010 and successfully won her battle. She faced a diagnosis of throat cancer earlier this year emerging victorious again. Evert took to social media to express her love towards Navratilova and remained strong amid the uncertainty that lies ahead.
"We're in this together! 💪🏻 👊 🙏 Thanks for the delicious food @Martina ❤️ ," Evert posted on X (formerly Twitter).

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
