in part because she's training younger players now, in part because she would have had to have jumped through tons of hoops to qualify (playing for the Swiss Fed Cup team), and in part because she told Federer that it'd be crazy for him to play singles, doubles, and mixed in the olympics because it's in such a compressed time frame.
