Just realized that the  tennis player has a basque surname :o

 

He's the 300 in the Olympic ranking, so he shouldnt have any problem in keeping the quota.

[Jur 570]

Secomd set 6-3 for Benjamin Lock

 

All will be decided in the 3rd set

[Jur 570]

 

 

 

I'm sorry but I'm rooting for . Hope he can comeback

[Jur 570]

Now she needs to get to top400

[Jur 570]

 Benjamin Lock won 6-3, 3-6, 7-5

[Jur 570]

Angella has a WR of 532. Alhussein even worse. I dont see neither of them getting to the TOP400 in time for the games. The quota probably would be reallocated

[Jur 570]

Tennis apparently starts tomorrow and is a Olympic Qualification event, but I can't find the entry list. Anyone knows it?

[Jur 570]

The Spanish Federation has talked with ITF and they apparently said that there's no problem that Alcaraz hasn't meet the needed Davis Cup conditions and that he could still play the Olympics.

 

 

So I guess that high profile players like Iga wouldn't have problems either

[Jur 570]

US would only had 3 women in individual since Coco's withdrawall happend after closing the list. Her place went to the best placed only doubles player already in Japan, #137 ranked Renata Zarazúa from 

 

 

Idk who replaces Coco in doubles, but considering Riske and Brady are there, I imagine one of them would play with Melichar.

There is sth wrong with qualification in tennis, the document says 84 players per gender. How many players are already qualified? I think much more than 84, there are too many only double players qualified..... 

According to wikipedia, there are at least 33 only double athletes in the men's category.

I'm more surprised about Stefani/Pigossi as their rankings are looow

Yup, that's weird. If they are on, a lot of couples had to withdrew before. Like  Seguel-Guarachi, a  couple, a  couple......

My bad, I though a country can only had 2 athletes in doubles. But is 6 in total so it doesn't mather cause  doesn't have 4 singles.

[Jur 570]

How can qualify Marcelo Demoliner, Marcelo Melo and Bruno Soares just for the doubles tournament? Doesn't make sense at all with the qualifying process

[Jur 570]

Well if the  athlete gets stolen cause of the US withdrawals I'm gonna be mad.

[Jur 570]

So this is the team  is apparently sending to the games:

7 athletes: 

 

3 Men's in single: Pablo Carreño, Pablo Andujar, Alejandro Davidovich

4 Women's in singles: Garbiñe Muguruza, Paula Badosa, Sara Sorribes, Carla Suárez

 

Carreño / Davidovich will play men's doubles, while Muguruza/Suárez & Badosa/Sorribes will play the women's singles.

 

 

The Federation is waiting if #97 men's seed Roberto Carballes can get a quota.

I'm pretty dubious about this. Unless you're a tennis fan I'm not sure that most people would necessarily notice that the sport was part of the Olympic programme given that sports like athletics, swimming and gymnastics tend to dominate coverage.

That depends on the country, here tennis is always going to be aired on TV before gymnastics.

I don't understand why the "no Tokyo" effect affects only the men's tournament.

Cause they have bigger ego's

[Jur 570]

#03 Rafa Nadal
#10 Roberto Bautista
#38 Albert Ramos
#64 Feliciano López
#69 Jaume Munar
#78 Carlos Alcaraz

Doubles #11 Marcel Granollers

 

All of them withdrawn from the games. What a shame, Pathetic for all of them.

 

Pablo Carreño, Alejandro Davidovich (they'll form a doubles pair) and Pablo Andujar would compete. And Roberto Carballés is expecting if he enters, cause he wants to play.

[Jur 570]

Badosa is going to play. She's said that she wants to go.

 

She wasnt the TOP4 spanish tennis player thats why she wasnt chosen for the Fed Cup during this years. I know wikipedia lists her as "no elligible", but I doesn't seem that way.

Well, already 3 Spanish players have withdrawn? Something's fishy here .....

And just waiting for the fourth one, cause  Feliciano Lopez has the 4th place rigth now and he already withdrawn Rio2016 when he was a medal contender in doubles, so.....

[Jur 570]

As a spanish saying says.. "no hay dos sin tres"

 

 

 Albert Ramos Viñolas, who took the place when Bautista decided no to go, is also out.

[Jur 570]

 Nadal is out

So the qualification period ended today and this monday rankings will be used. Here's a tentative list i saw in Wikipedia, don’t know if one of you guys is behind it. I think there will be changes, it excludes some players due fed cup/davis cup nominations that I believe just were not selected at the time, like Karatsev I guess. Also other players will opt out, for example Federico Delbonis is included and he already said he won't go to Tokyo. I guess we'll have to wait a few days till confirmations from ITF.

 Carla Suarez Navarro is missing, she has PR of #68

Double Serbia vs Spain.

 

Garbiñe - Jankovic and Carla Suarez vs Ana Ivanovic.
