Spanish tennis player Carla Suárez Navarro announced on social media that she has been diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma. She will be taking chemotherapy for six months to beat cancer.

It’s time for me to face a complicated reality. It’s time to accept it and try to move forward, trusting in my medical advice. Always facing adversity with positivity.  Patience and self-belief guided me through my career. Not the easiest rival to deal with. I’ll truly need my best.
–Carla Suárez Navarro
