Elena Rybakina, who entered as the third seed in the 2024 Paris Olympic women’s tennis competition, has withdrawn from the tournament because of acute bronchitis, according to the Kazakhstan Tennis Federation.
Rybakina, a 2022 Wimbledon champion, pulled out of the singles tournament and mixed doubles, where she was expected to play with partner Alexander Bublik. Caroline Garcia, of France, has taken Rybakina’s place and is the 17th seed in singles. Daria Saville, of Australia, was named the alternate.
