Some updates:

 Griekspoor/Haase (78)

 Erler/Miedler (78 - I'm not sure if singles or doubles rankings have priority so they might be above the Dutch?)

 Draper/Norrie (79)

-------------------------------------------------

 Tsitsipas/Tsitsipas (82)

 Matos/Melo (83)

 Gonzalez/Reyes Varela (93)

 Fucsovics/Marozsan (97)

 

Meanwhile  now in danger of not having two teams, as Dodig fell out of the top 10 (ironically due to losing to the Tsitsipas brothers but it became official today now that Vavassori made SF and passed him). Cilic hasn't played since February so if he isn't back by then, the best second CRO team would be Coric/Dodig with a combined live ranking of 98...

We also have to check how strict they will be with the singles priority...

It depends on how close they are to the max athlete quota

I've done a calculation in which they could have 86 athletes, only having 2 or 3 doubles pairs outside the top10, but this would be very harsh

Yeah, I have been counting that, but it's quite unlikely unless we see many withdrawals. 

 

For example, when I counted , if Menšík really qualifies, how to make a second pair if the first would be Lehecka/Machač? Maybe it could be Adam Pavlásek who is currently 36th in doubles ranking. If Pavlásek was in top 20, I would say it is doable. But for 36th place, it is kinda highest he has even been but still there are many players ahead of him who also may pair up with other singles players. 

 

Anyways, speaking of withdrawals, I guess we will read about most of them in June as ITF will probably require all the tennis players, especially from singles, to confirm their participation as soon as possible.

 

I am bit sad about Novak who had to undergo meniscus surgery and having that less than 2 months before the Games, I am starting to feel that he may not be able to make it. Such a pity because thats the only title he has been missing. Still hope he can make it🙏🙏

Not so fast!  Sumit just won his semifinal at Heilbronn.  The list does not get finalized till he finishes his final tomorrow.

 

He was the only one still controlling his destiny in qualifying for Olympics since yesterday and he has won 2 matches to keep it going.

Confirmed, after Canoe Sprint and Artistic Gymnastics, Tennis is the 3rd sport in Paris in which failed to qualify for the first time ever.

Yeah, too bad she failed to qualify as she was the only one in the fight, but honestly if she was not able to even qualify through the ranking despite millions of quotas awarded there, then she can really just blame herself

Well, according to https://live-tennis.eu/en/olympics-race-women-singles she is 80th in the Olympic ranking, I think there is still a chance she will make it. Wiki shows she is on the list, I know we can't always trust the wiki updates but I believe that she will make the cut.
