Carla Suarez Navarro has notified everyone via her official twitter that she has been diagnosed with lymphoma and she will undergo treatment for it.
The former world number six posted a picture in a hospital bed with the official statement that reads:
I hope everybody is fine during the difficult times in which we’re living.
I would like be writing to send great news but so far that’s a reality that must be put on hold.
As I let you know in previous weeks, I’ve been unable to train on court or at the gym on a regular basis recently. When I expose my body to the demands of professional sport, it doesn’t sustain the effort anymore. I haven't completed a practice sessions since July.
We wish her a speedy recovery.
