Probably chemistry. Molteni and Gonzalez compete together on the ATP tour, and they’re one of the best doubles teams in the world.

Because of the 6 max of the same gender rule. Argentina will qualify 4 individuals at 100% (we have 7 players in position for the 4 quotas). And then, we have to choose 2 for the doubles.

 

It is a very interesting thing what is happening with us. We have to choose 2 and we have 3 players. For one side, Zeballos, who is the number one in the world, and plays with spaniard Marcel Granollers. Both are in a great form, they became number one last week.

 

For the other side, we have the duo of Andres Molteni and Machi Gonzalez, ranked 15 and 18 in the world. The duo ended 2023 playing the ATP Masters (meaning, inside the top 8 doubles team of the yearly season), and this months they are still in a great shape, winning the ATP 250 Cordoba Open and the ATP 500 Barcelona this year.

 

Argentina's coach has to choose between sending the N°1 player with either Gonzalez or Molteni (and dissolve the couple) or sending both of them without Zeballos. Zeballos already played the Tokyo Olimpics with Molteni and lost in the first round against the Brits J.Murray and Skupski.

 

A very though choice but ended up with the current number one of the rankings without a new olympics for him.

Is it not possible to relinquish a singles quota for another doubles player? 

 

 

I think they could and should.

 

Zeballos could play with one of the other single players.

Wouldn't that increase the number of doubles pairs beyond the limit?

Well not necessarily; Zeballos is surely one of the 10 doubles players with a secure ticket, if his NOC nominates him.

 

Plus ITF and the IOC rarely respect the quotas.

AAT already announced they're taking all the singles quotas.  

 

It's probably payback for him skipping Davis Cup the last 2 years.

If he's skipped the Davis Cup the last 2 years, he might not be eligible anyway. Part of the eligibility criteria is the following:

 

Quote

part of the final nominated Davis Cup or Billie Jean King Cup team, and present at the tie/event (National Representation) on a minimum of two (2) occasions during the Olympic Cycle, provided that one of those occasions is in either 2023 or 2024

The ITF can waive that if they want to and declare him eligible but if your NOC doesn't want to nominate him anyway it might be a moot point.

    • Congrats Diggins, well deserved! 👏   Too bad she fell on the last lap in the last race (as well as Karlsson also did x2).   For the future I would really like them to remove the bonus sprint points suring the race that almost makes more importance to the overall standings than the positions over the finish line. And get back to the same point system as the other FIS events. 30 gets points instead on 50, and 100-80-60... instead of this system. in this case Diggins deserves it and Sweden who of different reasons have missed pets of the season On purpose or not, does not deserve it. But it as it is now it may take 20 wins to catch up for one missed race (if the opponent is 2nd in each). Dahlqvist won the sprint cup without any individual wins (3rd overall) is one example of that.    There must be room to miss a race of any reason. If not, it Will not make people race more events, instead it might make skoters who already missed one weekend feel they are already too far behind so they light as well take less priority on the rest of the World cup season. Also skiiers who in Norway for example would be good enough for a top3 in the overall might not even be selected for many races due to the internal competition. Same for a skiier like Ebba Andersson who most likely would not qualify if she would be selected to go a sprint race. But she would still get a few points probably for rk 31-50, but because she would not make it in to the Swedish sprint team she Will lose a lot even compared to those who fail the sprint qualifications. Frida Karlsson another example, she would also probably have qualified most of the times but is most often not good enough to make the team. With more award to winning and making podiums and also less athletes scoring that would make it better I think. The scoring system in biathlon got some critics when they decided you have to count all races, but they at least increased the value of top positions meaning you could faster catch up a bad race/missed race, by a few podiums.
    • Great to see O’Connor on the podium again! Thats 4 major medals in the past 12 months (World Indoors x 2, Euro Indoors and World Championships).   Her strongest event is the javelin so she is going to continue to be a huge threat in the heptathlon this summer and she is still improving all the other events. Exciting times for her  
    • Congrats to Diggins winning the WC in her final season 
    • Call me mad, but it feels very strange to have made it all the way through a major championships without hearing how the results were going to lead to a slashing of funding for  sport.  
    • Only Fabbri from Italy has disappointed and that's a bit concerning... In 3 of the last 4 major events (OG and 2x Indoor World Champ), he's performed significantly worse than he did on the entire season – he took bronze at the 2025 World Championships, but his result was also nothing special. His performance today is completely incomprehensible  (
