MUMBAI (Reuters) - India's top singles player Somdev Devvarman has opted not to defend his tennis gold medals at this month's Asian Games in Incheon, South Korea, as he wants to concentrate playing on the ATP Tour after sliding down the rankings.

Devvarman, who won singles and men's doubles gold at the 2010 Guangzhou Games in China, has slipped to 143 in the rankings after a spate of poor results and wants to improve his position by playing on the circuit.
