Coco Gauff will miss the Tokyo Olympics after testing positive for COVID-19, the 17-year-old said on Sunday.

‘I’m disappointed to share the news that I have tested positive for COVID and won’t be able to play in the Olympic Games in Tokyo,’ world number 25 Gauff said on Twitter.

‘It has always been a dream of mine to represent the USA at the Olympics, and I hope there will be many more chances for me to make this come true in the future.’

The Tokyo Games, pushed back by a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, will begin on Friday.
