Marketa Vondrousova: "For health reasons, I won't be taking part in this year's Olympics. I hoped until the last moment that I would at least be able to play doubles, but my hand problems prevent me from playing.
I'm now concentrating on getting back into shape for the US Open. I'll keep my fingers crossed for all the Czech representatives in France."
