Yeah.
I mean, that's the whole deal with both of them is they're all about early detection.
And Chrissy, fortunately, was detected early.
If it hadn't been, she might not be with us right now.
It's given her the ability to fight.
So, yeah.
The reason they went public with it is they want women to get checked regularly because that's the lifesaver here.
I said this in the film.
It's a funny relationship because Chrissy, early in her career, in 73, when you were at that open at Forest Hills, which I would have given anything to have seen.
she put her armor on early, and she's been slowly but surely taking her armor off ever since.
Martina was the opposite.
You know, she comes to this country very guileless, very naive, very sort of open, because she grew up in this communist country where you had to, you know, you couldn't speak openly.
And she has gone in the opposite direction.
She's actually put some armor on as she's gotten older and more experienced.
And so it's a very interesting thing.
But both of them
are very open about their cancer and about their relationship now and what competition did to them, how it damaged the friendship for a while, how they managed to put it back together.
And I really respect that because for Chrissy, it's not easy.
It doesn't come natural, especially.
And for Martina, it doesn't come natural anymore.
