Paris: World number three Aryna Sabalenka said on Monday she will miss the tennis event at the Paris Olympics "to take care of her health".
Belarus' Sabalenka, 26, lost to Russian teenager Mirra Andreeva in the French Open quarter-finals earlier this month.
The tennis events at this summer's Games take place on clay between July 27-August 4 with the US Open starting three weeks later.
"Especially with all the struggles I've been struggling with the last months, I feel I have to take care of my health," Sabalenka told reporters.
"It's too much for the scheduling and I made the decision to take care of my health."
