Tennis: Rios pulls out of Wimbledon

Chilean Marcelo Rios has pulled out of this year's Wimbledon tennis championships for personal reasons.

Rios, a former world No 1, made the headlines last month when he was fined $10,000 ($24,033) by the ATP for his behaviour at a players' party during the Rome Masters tournament.

Towering German Alexander Popp, a surprise quarter-finalist at Wimbledon last year, has also pulled out of this year's championships because of a virus.

World No 1 and French Open champion Gustavo Kuerten quit a fortnight ago.
