No Tokyo for Serena Williams. The former world tennis number one has announced that he will not participate in the Olympics at the start on July 23, without explaining the reasons. “I’m not on the Olympic list anyway as far as I know, and if I’m there I won’t go anyway,” said the American, 39, gold medal at the London Olympics in 2012.
“There are many reasons that led me to take this decision on the Olympics. I don’t want to talk about it today. Maybe another time. I’m sorry. In the past, I have had a great time at the Olympics. But I really haven’t thought about it and I will continue not to think about it, ”said Williams, who is chasing the 24th Grand Slam title at Wimbledon.
From the title won in Australia in 2017, the American lost four finals: at Wimbledon 2018 and 2019 and at the US Open 2018 and 2019.
