Young tennis stars skipping Paris Olympics 2024: Top players participating in US tournaments instead, here's why
==========

A young bracket of leading tennis players, both men and women, are choosing to skip the Paris Olympics 2024 and participate in US-based hard court tournaments instead. The Paris Olympics 2024 coincides with leading tennis tournaments in the United States, making it difficult for players to prepare and perform well in both events. Additionally, US tournaments offer various incentives such as rating points and prize money, unlike the Olympics. The Olympics does not award cash prizes to winners, which is another reason why tennis stars prefer cash-rich tennis championships. The close proximity of the Paris Olympics 2024 and the US Open also gives players less time to prepare and recover, affecting their performance. The International Olympic Committee is concerned about the high-profile absence of top players in the tennis event at the Olympics, but there is little they can do at the moment.
