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the Olympics, they may well give Rio de Janeiro a miss.Jason Day and Rory McIlroy are among the golfers to have already withdrawn from the Olympic tournament, citing the fear of contracting the Zika virus.Many tennis players enthusiasm for the Olympics appears to have softened, too,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.Trace McSorley Ravens Jersey .

Victorino is batting sixth and playing right field after missing two games because of back tightness.BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- The Indiana Hoosiers spent the first eight games taking expert care of the football.Now, suddenly, they cant seem to get a grip on it.Over the past two weeks, the Hosiers have fumbled nine times, losing all five Saturday to fuel Penn States rally from a 10-point, third-quarter deficit for a 45-31 victory. The slide from being one of the nations best in turnover margin to second-worst in the Big Ten (minus-6) has befuddled Hoosiers players, coaches and fans alike.We went from third in the nation in fewest fumbles after Week 8 and at Week 10 I think were at 101. So weve dropped I think 98 spots in two weeks, coach Kevin Wilson said Monday. To me, its coaching and thats culture. And weve kind of addressed that again.The Hoosiers have seen steady slippage on the turnover front all season.Quarterback Richard Lagow didnt throw an interception till Week 3. Today, his 13 picks are second most in the conference.Its been a similar story with fumbles. After the Hoosiers (5-5, 3-4 Big Ten) lost only two of six fumbles through the first eight weeks (0.75 per game), they are now averaging 1.13 per quarter over the past two weeks .Perhaps its just a case of bad luck.But Wilson cant rely on happenstance to fix this problem.Normally, Wilson instructs players who have footballs during stretching to properly tuck it away. Those who dont wind up losing playing time.I think I was ridiculed years ago when Tevin Coleman went to Ann Arbor (Michigan) and fumbled and came out, Wilson said. But our deal is if you fumble you dont play. I dont know whats up with that but thats how we play here. Thats our culture, and I take responsibility for those fumbles because I think weve gotten lax with that.dddddddddddd.Wilson didnt say if he would do anything different this week.Finding a solution, though, could prove challenging because there doesnt appear to a common thread.Usually sure-handed receiver Mitchell Paige blamed himself for the Penn State loss after losing the ball twice in traffic Saturday. Running back Devonte Williams dropped the ball after Lagow appeared to make a safe handoff on time. Isaac James gave the ball back to the Nittany Lions at his own 6-yard line after a punt bounced into his leg. And the Nittany Lions turned a strip-sack of Lagow in the games waning seconds into their sealing score.If we eliminate the turnovers it could be a different game, Lagow said afterward.They learned that lesson the hard way Saturday and realize they get it fixed in these final two games.First, Indiana visits No. 4 Michigan (9-1, 6-1), where it last won in 1967. Thats followed by the annual Thanksgiving weekend game against rival Purdue (3-7, 1-6) for the Old Oaken Bucket. Indiana has won the last three over the Boilermakers and now has a chance to tie the school record for most consecutive victories in the series.Win either one and the Hoosiers will become bowl-eligible for the second straight season -- a feat they havent achieved since 1990 and 1991.Turn it over like they have been, and the Hoosiers once promising season slip away, too.We address it every day, running back Devine Redding said. We harp on ball security because without the ball, you cant do anything. Thats a big thing.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
