After learning that Chris Evert, an 18-time Grand Slam champion, was diagnosed with ovarian cancer for the second time, Martina Navratilova, who battled cancer in 2023, reached out to her immediately. Navratilova took Evert out to get some food to provide support and comfort during this difficult time. Evert had been cancer-free earlier this year but received the news of her recurrence on December 8. In a photo uploaded to Twitter, Evert and Navratilova were seen holding each other closely and pointing to some food. Evert had to withdraw from ESPN’s coverage of the Australian Open to focus on her health and recovery. She underwent another round of chemotherapy after doctors found cancer cells in the same pelvic region.
