"VAN" (Sports Desk - 28.06.2021) :: Tennis star Serena Williams will not be competing at the Tokyo 2020 Games, staged in 2021.
The 39-year-old revealed in a press conference held ahead of Wimbledon that she was not on the Team USA list.
"I'm actually not on the Olympic list - not that I'm aware of. If so, then I shouldn't be on it."
When asked to detail the reasoning behind her decision not to go to Tokyo, the American added she would share them in due course.
"There's a lot of reasons that I made my Olympic decision. I don't really want to - I don't feel like going into them today. Maybe another day."
The 2020 Games would have been the 23-time Grand Slam winner's fifth Olympic outing after she made her debut at Sydney 2000.
To date, Williams has won four Olympic gold medals: one in the women's singles event and three in women's doubles. The latter is an all-time record she shares with her sister, Venus Williams.
