LONDON (AP) — While the Zika virus and family concerns have notably deterred some of golf's best players from going to the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, the tennis elite isn't put off.
Defending men's champion Andy Murray said at Wimbledon on Saturday, "My plan is still to play."
Roger Federer was also full steam ahead. "I'll put mosquito spray on my body and take the precautions I have to," said Federer, the runner-up to Murray in the London Games four years ago and a doubles gold medalist in the 2008 Beijing Games.
"I'm not afraid of Zika," said Petra Kvitova, the two-time Wimbledon champ from the Czech Republic.
