The tennis pro explained that she had to prioritize her well-being over tennis. 
She has worked as an analyst for ESPN. 
“Because of this, I will not be attending Wimbledon this year, and I will step back from my professional commitments over the next few months to focus on my health,” she wrote. 
Evert addressed her diagnosis with a positive attitude and sheer determination, vowing to make a comeback. 
“Ovarian cancer is relentless, but I will stay optimistic and determined in continuing to fight this battle,” she wrote. 
The tennis pro took a moment to thank a number of people for their support, including her family, friends, and the medical personnel who have rallied around her and continue to provide care through her health journey.

“Our thoughts are with our ESPN tennis colleague Chris Evert as she deals with this health issue,” he said. 
“We will certainly miss her at Wimbledon and wish her all the best. 
We look forward to having her back with us whenever she feels ready to return.”
