If Venus Williams really wanted to play the Olympics in Tokyo, she probably could have found a way. But it appears that will not be the case, as the five-time Olympic medalist (four gold, one silver) said, “I don’t think so” when asked if she would compete in the doubles or mixed doubles in Tokyo.

The elder of the Williams sisters won doubles gold with Serena three times (2000, 2008, 2012), and won her only singles gold at the Sydney Games in 2000. She is tied with Kathleen McKane Godfree for most medals won by a male or female tennis player.

Venus, the 18th ranked American singles player, will face off against No. 21 seed Ons Jabeur in the second round of Wimbledon on Wednesday.
