The current number one Slovak tennis player Martin Kližan will not compete at the Olympic Games in the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro this August. As Kližan's Media Manager informed on Wednesday, the reason behind his decision is fear of the Zika virus. "It was a difficult decision. I am joining other world sportsmen who have made the same decision," stated Kližan, who thus also apologized to his fans. Following Kližan's decision, the Slovak Tennis Association asked the International Tennis Federation to replace him with Andrej Martin.
