Chris Evert is sick and the news has made him aware. The 18 Grand Slam champion has chosen to inform its fans with a Twitter announcement:

I want to tell you that I've been diagnosed with ovarian cancer in the first degree, I'm very confident that I can overcome it, and I'm sure chemotherapy will produce good results. Fortunately, we've found out by the time we've found out”
