Public diagnosis
Breast cancer – still in the Wimbledon doubles final
Despite breast cancer, she reached the Wimbledon doubles final in 2024. Canadian tennis player Gabriela Dabrowski made her diagnosis public on New Year's Eve.
"I realize this news may come as a surprise to many, but I want to reassure everyone that I am doing well and will continue to be okay," wrote the 32-year-old. She received the diagnosis in April. She then missed a few tournaments and underwent an operation. She returned to the tour in June. Almost unbelievably, in July she stormed into the doubles final at Wimbledon with her partner Erin Routliffe. There, the pair were defeated by Katerina Siniakova/Taylor Townsend.
Dabrowski explains that she even put up with "slight delays" in her treatment for her Wimbledon performance. Suspicions were first raised at the end of 2023 when doctors discovered lumps. At the time, she was given "no cause for concern".
Changed perspective
The diagnosis changed her perspective in and on life: from "I have to do this" to "I can do this". As a result, she now finds "considerably more" joyful aspects in life that she may have previously found stressful.
