WIMBLEDON, England (AP) - Wimbledon officials played down swine flu fears Monday after four ball boys and girls were asked to remain home because of flu symptoms.
The All England Club urged all visitors and personnel to stay away from the tournament if they develop any symptoms. The club stressed, however, there was no reason to suspect swine flu had reached the Grand Slam event.
"There's no one that has swine flu," All England Club spokesman Henry O'Grady said. "There are a couple of people that have flu symptoms, and as a result they've been asked to stay at home. ... They haven't been tested for swine flu, and they're not going to be tested."
