«There’s a lot of reasons that I made my Olympic decision,» Williams said the day before the start of main-draw action at Wimbledon.
said on Sunday that she will not go to the, but did not want to say why during her pre-Wimbledon video conference with reporters. «I’m actually not on the Olympic list…. Not that I’m aware of. If so, then I shouldn’t be on it,» Williams said. The 39-year-old Williams has won four gold medals at past Summer Games for the United States: in both singles and doubles at the 2012 London Olympics — which held the tennis competition at the All England Club — and in doubles at the 2000 Sydney Olympics and 2008 Beijing Olympics. All of her doubles golds were won with her older sister, Venus, as her partner. At the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games, Serena Williams lost in the third round of singles to Elina Svitolina of Ukraine and the siblings were beaten in the first round of doubles.
