In our totallympics list girl from Slovakia is first - but they still have Mertens (ITF official website said that she won't play - so it's sure https://www.itftennis.com/en/news-and-media/articles/first-players-confirmed-to-take-part-in-olympic-tennis-event-at-paris-2024/).

There are also 5 Czech athletes marked as qualified (Vondrousova, Krejcikova, Noskova, Siniakova and Bouzkova; the limit is 4) so Schmiedlova should definitely be in.

I can provide some details on this. According to the latest stetment by Tarpishchev (president of russian tennis federation):

 

MSingles: Medvedev, Rublev, Khachanov*, Safiullin 

 

WSingles: Kasatkina, Samsonova, Aleksandorva, M.Andreeva

 

2 important notes:

- he said nothing about doubles (despite of the high enough ranking position of Zvonareva)

- he remarked that this squad will take part if the athltes will be allowed by compete *

 

* by now we know about at least one case of russian tennis player (Khachanov) beeing accused of pro-war activity in soical networks.

Didn't M. Andreeva also like some pro-war posts on social media?

 

Also, does Kasatkina have any intention to compete in Paris as she has been outspoken against the war?

@hckošice Anna Karolína Schmiedlová qualified and will go to OG (if she want).

I don't think it is confirmed, the Wikipedia page is unreliable, for example why are they saying Korpatsch is out?

 

However, I think she will probably get in in the end. I don't think Cirstea will play, and if the protected ranking rule that I read today regarding Badosa is true (that you can only use it for two of Grand Slams/Olympics) then Osaka and Kerber will get in via Grand Slam/Olympic exception, so that will clear up two spots (and then of course Wozniacki/Raducanu would be out).

 

Also, we don't know for sure if Begu for example will use her protected ranking, she chose to not go to Tokyo so maybe she doesn't care about OG anymore.

they are also saying Navone, Darderi and O´Connell are out because of Davis Cup requirement when the 3 of them are in because of the special rules about it. 100% not reliable.

Yeah, and if Korpatsch wants to play, I'm sure she will get an exception to do so. I know she spent a lot of time outside the top 100 the last four years so I am sure Germany can say she was "available" but they didn't choose her, also she had some injuries in the past year and I think I remember hearing that she was going to make her BJK debut but then got injured. Also I know she used to be scared to fly and would only play in Europe so that's another excuse for her not playing BJK Cup.

Also I think the wildcards for gold medalists or Grand Slam winners are weird, in what other sport do you get a wildcard into the Olympics because you used to be good 5-10 years ago?

Andreeva is not cleared too, you are right.

 

It looks like russians are not going to send Kasatkina to the games at all.

Essentially, name branding will attract more people to watch.
