Two top-10 tennis players withdrew from the Rio Olympics on Friday, citing concerns about the Zika virus.
Fifth-ranked Simona Halep on the women’s side and No. 7 Milos Raonic for the men announced their decisions Friday after their names were listed on the International Tennis Federation’s roster for next month’s Summer Games.
Halep, 24, of Romania, posted on Facebook: “Family is much too important for me, and I can’t risk not being able to have one of my own after my career in tennis is over.”
She was the runner-up at the 2014 French Open.
