Tennis legend Chris Evert announced Friday that she has Stage 1C ovarian cancer but the prognosis is great and she is expected to make a full recovery.
Proper tennis fans know who Chris Evert is even decades after she stopped playing tennis. The American had a tremendous career, a legendary one, but she firmly remained in tennis even after hanging it up. She has been an analyst, commentator and worked on promoting tennis even after stopping playing. However, this recent news is not a positive one for Evert.
She announced Friday that she has Stage 1C ovarian cancer. Evert,
67, posted on Twitter a link to an ESPN story she co-wrote with Chris
McKendry, in which Evert said: “I feel very lucky that they caught it
early and expect positive results from chemo plan. … thanks to all of
you for respecting my need to focus on my mental health and treatment
plan. You will see me appear from home at times during ESPN’s coverage
of the Aussie Open.”
The news comes less than a year after her sister died aged 62 of ovarian cancer. For Evert, it was a shocking diagnosis that comes too soon after she lost her sister to the same disease. As noted in her story the prognosis is good and she is expected to make a full recovery.

- 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".
