 Bryan Brothers Withdraw From Olympics, Citing Health Concerns
Americans Bob and Mike Bryan, the most successful doubles team in men`s tennis history, have pulled out of the defence of their title at the Rio Games saying their family`s health is their top priority.

The pair won Olympic gold at the London 2012 Games and own 112 titles together, including 16 grand slams
They were looking forward to representing their country at a fourth Olympics, having also won bronze in Beijing in 2008, and had planned to play with gold-painted rackets

"After countless hours of deliberation Mike and I have decided to forego the Rio Olympics," the pair wrote on their Facebook page on Saturday July 30,2016

"Though we`d love to compete again, as husbands and fathers, our family`s health is now our top priority."
