Tennis legend Martina Navratilova is being supported by former rival Chris Evert in her battle against throat and breast cancer. Evert, who declared her remission from ovarian cancer in May said she will support Navratilova "like she did mine".
Navratilova, aged 66, won Wimbledon nine times during an incredible career which saw her win 59 major titles across singles, doubles and mixed doubles. The Czech-born American said she has been diagnosed with the two forms of cancers after finding a swollen lymph node in her neck in November.
The tennis star announced her diagnosis in the The Times and vowed to fight the cancer.
