World number three Aryna Sabalenka says she will not compete at this summer’s Olympic Games in Paris in order to prioritise her health.
The 26-year-old retained her Australian Open title in January but lost to Russian teenager Mirra Andreeva in the French Open quarter-finals.
That was the first time the Belarusian had lost before the semi-finals of a major since the 2022 French Open.
