[Music] [Music] Chris Everett this is really an honor to have you here at the Ralph laoren Suite here at Wimbledon thanks for having me so when you come to Wimbledon when you walk through the grounds what goes through your mind this is one major Grand Slam Tournament that never gets old I feel very special in that I played this event and that I'm still able to come back as a TV commentator and so it's more of a like you know it's time to be grateful kind of moment that I have the thing is Wimbledon is the one tournament that I think every tennis player aspires to win Wimbledon I feel is bigger than the players this feels like a culture when you come to Wimbledon you're stepping into an old world or old piece of tennis that's piece of history that we all feel like let's be a part of that history and cure you said it better than than I did it does and then you walk into Wimbledon Village and you every single person in that Village is here for the tournament you're an incredible Champion you've had a lot of fights in your life that you've had to endure and overcome and now you're in a another major fight in your life against cancer had ovarian cancer um two years ago and then it came back um in December so I've had to go through two surgeries and you know chemotherapy the history of being an athlete has really helped me deal with the cancer psychologically as well as physically I've always been one for fitness and eating well so that wasn't an issue maybe more importantly psychologically you know the mental side of it is like okay in my tennis I learned that I can only control what I do and I can't control how my opponent playing I can't control what they do whatever happens happens all I can do is do the best with being disciplined making my appointments and trying to get ahead of it if it comes back how has having cancer changed who you are you realize your priorities what they are and mine are family and health and work and business that that comes third it is an incredible thing how people are discovering cancer without any symptoms my sister jeie died from ovarian cancer after she died her blood test came back 2 years later they told me her blood is showing that she has the broag gene I right away went and got a brocka blood test and I was positive it's terrible but without her death I would be not be living right now what advice do you give to somebody who feels like it's over they're just feeling like how am I going to make it through this this fight I think people should find comfort in the fact that they're not alone that this is happening to a lot of people around the world if you're feeling a little something if something is a little off you've got to go see the doctor don't be afraid that you're a wimp or that you're a hypochondriac or you know don't beat yourself up yeah go to the doctor and get it taken care of and get tested as soon as you can I think everybody is strong what else El are you going to do you're still going to fight it within yourself [Music]
