Tennis Icon Announces Heartbreaking Cancer News Before Wimbledon

Tennis legend Chris Evert, 71, will miss her duties for ESPN's Wimbledon coverage this year. The Tennis Hall of Famer revealed that her ovarian cancer has returned, a condition she was first diagnosed with in December 2021. After previously disclosing the recurrence of the disease in December 2023, Evert stated that she is continuing to fight the illness. Consequently, the sports icon will be absent from the prestigious tournament's broadcasting team during this season.
