WTASunday, 21 January 2024 at 02:30
Chris Evert
updated her followers on her battle against cancer and expressed gratitude to
her ex-husband, Andy Mill, amid chemotherapy sessions. The 28-times Grand Slam
champion is in her third round of treatment for ovarian cancer, a battle she
previously fought against and that resurfaced after a year of remission.
The former
world No. 1 first announced her cancer diagnosis in January 2022 after
undergoing preventive hysterectomy a month earlier, which was an early
detection through genetic testing.
Evert shares update on cancer battle
Former world No. 1 initially shared that after six rounds of chemotherapy, she was cancer-free,
with a 90% chance that the cancer would not return, according to her doctors.
However, at the end of 2023, she revealed that she would have to face another
round in the fight against cancer and would not be part of the broadcasts for
the 2024 Australian Open.
Nevertheless,
Chrissie Evert remained optimistic and assured her fans that she would return
in the following Grand Slam events of the season. The American recently posted
two photos on Instagram, showing herself receiving her third chemotherapy
session in the last month.
The first
photo depicts her lying down with a cap, undergoing treatment from the medical
team. In the second, she is seen with her ex-husband and father of her three
children, Andy Mill, who visited her amid the treatment.
"Onto
my 3rd round of Chemo; halfway there - A reminder to get your checkups, know
your family history, and be your own advocate with your health. Early detection
is crucial! It doesn’t hurt to have a good support system like I do :)"
Evert wrote.
The post
received comments from several historic tennis players, including former Grand
Slam champions Gabriela Sabatini, Mary Pierce, and gold medalist Monica Puig,
as well as tennis legend Billie Jean King. Also left comments the 2-times Grand
Slam finalist Alex Corretja, four-times mixed doubles Grand Slam champion
Daniela Hantuchova and the tennis expert and former player Rennae Stubbs.

- 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".
