Former world No 1 and US Open champion Chris Evert revealed that her ovarian cancer has returned for the third time. She described the illness as unyielding and highlighted the deep challenge she now confronts after her storied tennis career.
After discussions with her oncology team, she had an operation to remove the tumour. Evert announced she will sit out this year’s Wimbledon, stating the choice was made to focus on healing and continue treatment. Her representatives added that she will now concentrate on post-operative care.
