Related: About this forumChris Evert gets second cancer diagnosis, will take break at ESPN
ESPN analyst and former tennis star Chris Evert announced Friday that she will miss the networks coverage of the Australian Open next month after being diagnosed with cancer for a second time.
The announcement came 11 months after Evert declared she was free of ovarian cancer, which she had discovered in January 2022. Evert, 68, said she is undergoing chemotherapy. She plans to return for ESPNs coverage of the remaining Grand Slam tournaments.
Since I was first diagnosed with cancer two years ago, Ive been very open about my experience, Evert said in a statement through ESPN. I wanted to give all of you an update. My cancer is back.

An 18-time Grand Slam singles champion, Evert is one of the most accomplished players in tennis history. She was ranked first or second in the world from 1975 to 1986, and she became the first player of any gender to win 1,000 singles matches. Evert was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 1995.
