Battling Cancer, American Legend Chris Evert Sends Love to Two WTA Stars for Their Kind Gesture

Tennis stalwart Chri Evert penned a heartfelt message of her appreciation for two WTA stars. They are Ajla Tomljanović and Maria Sakkari. These two tennis stars recently reached out to Chris Evert, who announced the return of her cancer last month. Tomljanovic and Sakkari helped the tennis legend boost her courage in the fight against the deadly disease once more.

Chris Evert’s journey with cancer is still not over, and she had previously shared other possible health risks. Tomljanovic, along with Sakkari, tried to bring a smile to the face of the tennis legend and successfully lifted her mood.

Chris Evert loved Sakkari and Tomljanovic’s recent gesture

Recently, Chris Evert posted a picture of Ajla Tomljanović and Maria Sakkari, sharing a touching message. She wrote- “these two…thanks for reaching out…look at those beautiful smiles…⁦@Ajlatom@mariasakkari.” Evert recently announced that her cancer is back. Colleagues like Martina Navratilova also appeared in Evert’s support. Now Sakkari and Tomljanovic reached out to Chris Evert. 

Evert has been supportive of Maria Sakkari as well. After winning the Guadalajara Open 2023, Evert praised her by saying, “congratulations  @mariasakkari You showed everyone your strength and talent this week in Guadalajara! Keep the belief…” 

Chris Evert would now need to follow her own words that she used to congratulate Sakkari. As Evert’s cancer is back, which also brings other possible health threats, she really needs to ‘keep the belief’.

How is Chris Evert’s health recently?

In December 2023, Chris Evert shared that after a whole year, her cancer had returned. In 2020, she was diagnosed with BRCA-related variant 1 ovarian cancer. While she fought against the disease quite well, it is unfortunately back in Evert’s life once more. In November 2023, Evert’s medical team found malignant cells and a tumor in the tennis star’s left fallopian tube. Chris Evert is currently going through medication following her treatment.

In an essay Evert wrote for ESPN, she said, “I’m sharing my story because my journey isn’t over. I needed time to recover from chemo and rebuild my strength, but I still had one mountain left to climb. The risk for me was bigger than ovarian cancer alone. BRCA mutations are associated with an up to 75% risk of developing breast cancer, and an increased risk of prostate and pancreatic cancer as well.”

Maria Sakkari and Ajla Tomljanovic’s gesture for Chris Evert surely made the latter smile. It is not a mere thing to hear about the return of such a deadly disease. However, fans wish Chris Evert’s speedy recovery and see her on the commentary box soon. What do you think about Sakkari and Tomljanovic’s gesture for Evert?
