Bob and Mike Bryan become the latest players to decide that the upcoming Summer Olympics is not worth a potential risk to their health.

Olympics: Hingis Has a New Doubles Partner 

The Bryan Brothers announced their decision to withdraw from Rio on their Facebook page.

"After countless hours of deliberation Mike and I have decided to forego the Rio Olympics. Though we'd love to compete again, as husbands and fathers, our family's health is now our top priority.

Representing Team USA is one of our proudest tennis moments to date and winning Gold in 2012 will always remain the pinnacle of our career. The Olympics means so much to us for so many reasons and the memories we have wearing the Stars and Stripes will burn brightly forever.

Thank you to the USTA for the nomination and to our fans for their unwavering support. We wish every athlete luck in their quest for Olympic glory and hope the Rio games are a positive experience for everyone involved."

The Bryan Brothers were set to potentially defend their gold medal from the men’s doubles event at the 2012 Olympic Games.

Both are the latest players to withdraw from the upcoming Summer Games.

In the last week, Germany’s Alexander Zverev withdrew citing that he has not felt 100% healthy since Wimbledon. Marcos Baghdatis of Cyprus also withdrew due to an elbow injury.
