July 15 (Reuters) – Olympic medalist Angelique Kerber has become the last big name to retire from the July 23-Aug. 8 Tokyo Games, with the German Thursday saying the past few weeks on the Tour had taken a toll on her body.

Kerber, a three-time Grand Slam winner, won the silver medal in women’s singles at the 2016 Rio Games.

The 33-year-old has had a busy grass pitch season and has competed in three tournaments in the past month, winning in Bad Homburg and reaching the semi-finals at Wimbledon.

“Representing Germany in London 2012 and Rio 2016 as part of the German team has always been one of my favorite memories of my career so far,” Kerber said in a statement.

“This makes it even more disappointing for me to accept that my body needs a rest after the intense few weeks behind me and that I need to recover before competing again later this summer.

“Thank you for your support as this was a very difficult decision for me. Good luck to all my fellow German athletes in Tokyo, I will miss you.”

Some of the big names in tennis will be missing from the Olympics, including Roger Federer, Rafa Nadal, Dominic Thiem, Serena Williams, Simona Halep and Bianca Andreescu. read more
