Navratilova, 66 years old, will face a new battle against this disease. In 2010, she recovered from another breast cancer with radiation treatment.
Mary Greenham, representative of the former world number one, added that cancers are in their early stages “with excellent results” before medical treatment.
The nine-time Wimbledon winner will not cover the Australian Open this time, which will begin on January 16, in her role as a commentator, but could do so sporadically through the Zoom platform, according to her agent.
Navratilova, who retired in 2006, was born in the Czech Republic and has adopted US citizenship since 1975.
