Fish Skips Olympics With No Regrets

There will be absolutely no Olympic regrets for recovered American Mardy Fish as he stays on his side of the Atlantic to play on hardcourts and miss the London Olympics.

"I was lucky enough to do well in the Olympics when I played in 2004 and win the silver medal, so I’ve got a medal and I’ve got the memories from that," said the 29-year-old who has grappled with an accelerated heartbeat problem - now solved - over the past half-year.

Petkovic Forced to Withdraw From the Olympics

The London Olympic dream has died for Andrea Petkovic, with the unlucky German announcing that she will not be fit enough to play in the tennis event which begins a week from Saturday. "Really sorry to announce that I will not be competing at the Olympic Games," she said on her Twitter feed. "I'm heartbroken and sad as can be but I'm just not ready yet."
