Four-time Olympic gold medalist Serena Williams has confirmed she will not play in this summer’s delayed Tokyo Games.

The 39-year-old American, who made her Games debut at Sydney in 2000, made the announcement in her pre-Wimbledon media conference on Sunday.

“I’m actually not on the Olympic list – not that I’m aware of. If so, then I shouldn’t be on it,” she said.

Williams did not want to elaborate when asked more about the decision.
