Martina Navratilova has revealed that she has been diagnosed with two cancers.

In 2010, the former world number one got treatment for early stage breast cancer.

“This double whammy is serious but still fixable,” Navratilova, 66, said, hoping for a positive outcome. It’ll stink for a while, but I’ll fight with everything I’ve got.”

Navratilova, the winner of 59 grand slam singles and doubles titles, will not travel to this month’s Australian Open, where she was scheduled to work as a TV analyst, but her prognosis is “excellent,” according to a statement from her representative.

Her diagnosis and the commencement of her treatment will preclude her from attending this year’s Australian Open in Melbourne.

Martina Navratilova has been diagnosed with stage one throat cancer, according to a statement. “The outlook is good and Martina will start her treatment this month.

“The cancer kind is HPV, and this specific type responds extremely well to treatment. During the WTA finals in Fort Worth, Martina detected an enlarged lymph node in her neck. When it didn’t go down, a biopsy was performed, and the results revealed that the patient had stage one throat cancer.

“At the same time as Martina was undergoing the testing for the throat, a suspicious form was located in her breast, which was eventually identified as cancer, absolutely unconnected to the throat malignancy.

“Both of these malignancies are in their early stages and have promising prognosis. Martina will not be covering the Australian Open for Tennis Channel from their studio. Although she hopes to join in on occasion through Zoom.”
