Chris Evert completes chemotherapy treatment

NEW YORK: Tennis great Chris Evert has completed her sixth and final chemotherapy session to treat stage 1 ovarian cancer, the former world number one said on Monday. The 18-time Grand Slam champion revealed she had been diagnosed with the disease in January.

"I'm a little out of it (meds) but nonetheless, thankful and relieved I finished my six chemo treatments," she said on Twitter alongside a video of her with the health care workers who treated her and ringing a wind chime to mark the occasion. "Love you, thank you so much ... We hope we don't see you again," Evert told the workers with a laugh as she prepared to exit the health care facility.

Evert's younger sister, former pro tennis player Jeanne Evert Dubin, died after a battle with ovarian cancer in 2020 at the age of 62. Dubin's cancer had spread before it was detected. Agencies
