evil betty 24 Posted June 11 #241 Share Posted June 11 5 hours ago, Siddhartha Talukdar said: Sumit Nagal takes the last qualifying place in Men's Singles. He is in the last spot, unless players use protected rankings and push him out of it. He has not, as the article says, clinched anything. Because there will be withdrawals is it very likely he is in anyway but this article just looks like someone read the wikipedia page and decided it was final. It is not.

No, what I am saying is that the list is incorrect, it should be Kerber based on the qualifying criteria. She has more grand slam wins than Wozniacki.

This article very clearly states that "For Olympic tennis, National Olympic Committees (NOCs) will have to confirm that they will use the quota places by June 19." so it is mere speculation. Yuki Bhambri would be a better doubles pair for Bopanna, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surlympics 730 Posted June 11 #246 Share Posted June 11 Will they be treating the AIN as one and include four players with a mix of Belarusians and russians ? And are they able to compete despite not having the Davis cup requirements? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has more grand slam wins than Wozniacki. They've got it wrong in on the men's side as well - it should be Rafa and Murray but they have Stan and Murray. I think they've just been selecting the two highest ranked GS/Olympic winners, not looking at the criteria. Unless they are already adjusting for protected rankings, but if that is the case, Rafa should be showing as Q. Which he isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also imagine they will be exempt for Davis/BJK Cup requirements (pick one from: strength of nation, newcomer to rankings or historical participation. Or maybe they will just say this was a special case since the team is banned, but not the individual athletes). Surlympics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or they will just waive it because the Davis/BJK Cup requirement is more of a suggestion than anything else :P But ya, either way, it would be pretty ridiculous to say Russian / Bielorussian athletes can qualify as individuals, but then ban them because they didn't compete in a team event that their country is banned in.
