If an uncertain Jordan Spieth or any other golfers are looking at tennis before deciding whether to compete at the Olympics, they may well give Rio de Janeiro a miss.Jason Day and Rory McIlroy are among the golfers to have already withdrawn from the Olympic tournament, citing the fear of contracting the Zika virus.Many tennis players enthusiasm for the Olympics appears to have softened, too, although in most cases, that has little or nothing to do with health risks.The changing mood in a more established, albeit relatively-recently-added, Games discipline could be another negative influence on the thinking of golfers who are deliberating whether to travel or not.It has often been said that golf, which is new to the Games this year, should be guided by tennis on how a sport can prosper inside the Olympic movement.After all, there are great similarities between tennis and golf -- both are individual sports, with global tours, and four traditional peaks each season in the majors.The parallels between the sports have been acknowledged by key figures within the Olympic movement; Antony Scanlon, the International Golf Federations Olympics head, even told ESPN last February that for our athletes it will be less of a journey than it has been for tennis.But, if you look beyond some of the leading tennis players, there doesnt appear to be the same commitment to the Olympics that there was four years ago in London, when Andy Murray won the mens singles gold medal.Its true that Murray will be motivated to defend his title, while Roger Federer will want the only big singles prize missing from his collection of titles.Novak Djokovic, meanwhile, has the opportunity this season of becoming the first man to accomplish the golden slam -- winning the four Grand Slams and the Olympic in the same year.He is understandably keen to play in Rio, and hasnt been shy about saying so. Hes officially on the Serbia team, too, but the world No.1 told a media conference at Wimbledon this week that even he is concerned about Zika.Ive been getting more and more information about it, he said. Last few days Ive been trying to reach out to as many Brazilian friends and acquaintances that I have, [to] get as much information [as possible].When I get more information, Ill be able to make my final decision. But for now, Im planning to go.For some of the other players, even for those who would have had an outside chance of winning a medal, the Olympics simply arent a priority.One of the most engaging storylines this tennis season has been the emergence of Dominic Thiem, who is the newest member of the top 10, and yet the 22-year-old Austrian wont be in Rio as he doesnt consider tennis to be a true Olympic sport.Ernests Gulbis, a former French Open semifinalist, seems to be thinking along similar lines, with the Latvian saying recently that the Olympics looked like tennis tourism.He is ineligible after playing insufficient Davis Cup matches, but was unhappy anyway that ranking points wouldnt be on offer in Rio, as they were in London.John Isner, of the United States, also wont play in Rio and has expressed a similar grievance. The fact that they have no points, to be honest, was a pretty big factor, he said. Obviously the Olympics is not about the money, but no points I think hindered me a bit.The lure of a medal just isnt enough to get some to Brazil and while no-one is stressing the lack of a financial incentive, that could be a factor.Australian Bernard Tomic will be playing at an ATP event in Mexico rather than the Games. In a statement, he cited his extremely busy playing schedule, and now my personal circumstances for his absence.Another young Australian, Nick Kyrgios, will be missing from Rio after falling out with the Australian Olympic Committee. While Kyrgios said that playing at the Olympics had been a dream since I was a kid, he wasnt making himself available after the committee chose to publicly and privately disparage him.South Africas Kevin Anderson and Spains Feliciano Lopez also wont be there. The tennis tournament in Rio has been described in some quarters as the fifth Grand Slam, but for a number of tennis players, that appears to be anything but the case. Adrian Wilson Jersey . The home side created most of the chances but struggled to break down Braunschweigs resilient defence, resulting in the Bundesligas 1,000th scoreless draw. Andy Isabella Cardinals Jersey . Bryzgalov stopped 25 shots on Saturday in the Oklahoma City Barons 4-1 victory over the Abbotsford Heat. The Oilers signed Bryzgalov to a one-year $2 million contract last Friday after shedding payroll by dealing defenceman Ladislav Smid to the Flames. http://www.thecardinalsshoponline.com/Youth-Kurt-Warner-Cardinals-Jersey/ .J. -- Seven games into a disappointing season, New York Giants defensive catalyst Jason Pierre-Paul is getting the feeling hes back. Kurt Warner Womens Jersey . Robredo, ranked No. 16, bounced back from an upset loss to Leonardo Mayer in the second round of the Royal Guard Open in Chile last week to down Carreno Busta in 1 hour, 25 minutes. On a day filled mostly with qualifying matches, fifth-seeded Marcel Granollers of Spain also entered the second with a 7-5, 3-6, 6-2 win over Aljaz Bedene of Slovenia, while Guido Pella of Argentina defeated Guillermo Garcia-Lopez of Spain 7-6 (6), 6-4 to advance. Zach Allen Jersey . Patrice Bergeron and Daniel Paille scored 20 seconds apart a few minutes after Stamkos was taken off the ice on a stretcher with a broken right leg, and the Bruins beat the Lightning 3-0 on Monday afternoon. DAVIE, Fla. -- Cornerback Chris Culliver was placed on the physically unable to perform list Wednesday after signing a one-year deal with the Miami Dolphins, and said he expects to join practice soon.The next couple of weeks, he said. Im glad to be here. Im just taking my time and progressing.Culliver, who signed Tuesday, is still recovering from torn ACL and MCL ligaments in his right knee. He was hurt last Thanksgiving and released in May by the Washington Redskins.Culliver said hes running and doing light cuts, and coach Adam Gase described the newcomers status as day to day.Im excited to see him when we can get him out there and get him rolling to see whatt he can do in this defense, Gase said.dddddddddddd I like the fact that we were aggressive and went out and got him, and adding depth to that position.Miami is thin at cornerback, where converted receiver Tony Lippett and free agent acquisition Byron Maxwell are listed as the starters. Culliver has 26 career starts and seven interceptions.Theres a lot more I want to accomplish, he said.The Dolphins released center-guard Jacques McClendon and linebacker Danny Lansanah.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
