Ons Jabeur has become the latest tennis player to withdraw from the Olympic Games.
The Tunisian would have been an outside contender to claim an Olympic medal for her country but has now withdrawn from the event.
Writing a statement on social media, Jabeur took the decision in order to look after her health as she aims to prepare for Wimbledon and the US Open.
It could be Jabeur’s last chance to compete at the Olympic Games with her career nearing towards an end.
The Wimbledon finalist has competed at the last three Olympic Games but lost in the first round on all three occasions.
Jabeur joins Emma Raducanu, Aryna Sabalenka, Karen Khachanov and Andrey Rublev as the players that are absent from this summer’s event.
The tennis event at the Olympics will start on the 27th of July and will take place at Roland Garros in Paris.
