One fan has reminisced about how Martina stood by Chris Evert who was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2020. They have pointed out that no matter what the circumstances, surely Chris will extend the same support to the tennis legend.

Other fans have talked about how Martina is a living inspiration to them.

While some fans have broken down after listening to the upsetting news, others have expressed faith in how Navratilova is a fighter, and always has been. They are hopeful that the legend will soon be back, emerging a victor from all these battles.

Tennis commentators like Pavvy G, who did not have a very cordial 2022 with Martina on Twitter, have also expressed their support for her in these tough times.

Navratilova has always been a fighter

Martina has never been shy to be herself. She is the woman who came out as a lesbian several years ago and practically gave up millions of dollars in endorsements. Navratilova’s battle with breast cancer is also not a secret. The tennis legend was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2010 and successfully beat it with a positive attitude as ever.

In the course of her super encouraging career, Martina has earned 167 singles titles, 177 doubles titles, 18 Grand Slam singles titles, and 31 Grand Slam doubles titles. From what it looks like, a first-stage throat malignancy and another breast cancer will not slow down Navratilova for much longer!
