Tennis Legend Says Her Cancer Is Back
Manny Carabel / WireImageTennis legend Chris Evert has revealed that her ovarian cancer has returned for a third time in less than five years. “This past weekend, after undergoing CT and PET scans, I learned that my ovarian cancer has returned,” she posted to Instagram on Thursday. “Ovarian cancer is relentless, but I will stay optimistic and determined in continuing to fight this battle.” Evert, 71, said she has already undergone surgery and will soon begin chemotherapy. In doing so, she said she will step back from her professional commitments, including her attendance at Wimbledon this month. Evert first overcame ovarian cancer after being diagnosed with an early stage of the disease in 2021, just a year after her sister died from the same illness. She was in remission in 2023 after undergoing treatment and a preventative double mastectomy, but fell ill again later that same year, which she said was “caught early.” A documentary about her second battle with the disease, Chris Martina: The Final Set, is set to premiere on Netflix on June 26.
