Martina Navratilova is starting 2023 ready to fight.
The 66-year-old tennis legend and 18-time Grand Slam singles champion announced on Monday that she's been diagnosed with throat cancer and breast cancer.
“This double whammy is serious but still fixable,” Navratilova said via the Tennis Channel. “I’m hoping for a favorable outcome. It’s going to stink for a while but I’ll fight with all I have got.”
Navratilova discovered an enlarged lymph node in her neck in November while she was in Fort Worth, Tex. doing commentary for the WTA Finals.
