Tennis icon Martina Navratilova delighted her followers on Monday by sharing some uplifting news. In a tweet, the 66-year-old announced that she had received a clean bill of health after undergoing tests at Sloan Kettering. She expressed her gratitude to the medical professionals who had supported her throughout her treatment and used the hashtags #byebyecancer and #f–kcancer to convey her relief at being free from the disease.
Navratilova initially disclosed her cancer diagnoses in January, revealing that she had been diagnosed with throat and breast cancer, both of which were caught in the early stages. While she had stated in a March interview that she was cancer-free, she elaborated on her treatment plan at the time, explaining that she was scheduled for two weeks of preventative radiation on her breasts. In her interview, she confidently stated that she expected this treatment to be the final step in her recovery.
The tennis legend, a highly decorated athlete, is renowned for her numerous victories in the sport. No player since 1968 has won more singles tournaments, doubles events, or matches. With an astonishing 59 major titles to her name, including 31 in women’s doubles and 10 in mixed doubles, Navratilova’s accomplishments are unmatched. Remarkably, she claimed her most recent title at the U.S. Open in 2006, just one month prior to turning 50. Her dominance is particularly evident at Wimbledon, where she clinched the championship nine times and achieved an unprecedented six consecutive victories from 1982 to 1987.
Navratilova’s career was marked by an intense rivalry with fellow tennis great Chris Evert. Over the course of their careers, the two engaged in 22 Grand Slam matches, with Navratilova emerging as the victor in 14 of those encounters.
Following Navratilova’s positive update, her wife, Julia Lemigova, a star of the reality TV show “Real Housewives of Miami,” expressed her excitement for their future together. Lemigova emphasized the importance of living in the present, appreciating each healthy day, and approaching life with optimism and happiness. She described their current phase as a fresh start and expressed gratitude for Navratilova’s restored health.
Navratilova and Lemigova tied the knot in 2014 and continue to embrace their love and partnership as they move forward into the next chapter of their lives.
