Surprised that the British users on here don’t know how to spell Raducanu. That irrelevant huh? 

I'm primarily Irish. She's lucky she's not Ainé  O'Kane.

You're right Josh. Too used to the old medieval English spelling of the name I guess. 😊

Iga is currently not eligible in Paris because she refused to play in Fed Cup this year. She should play next year to have Paris assured.

 

She may not play if:

- POL will be in the final in Seville this year - then POL will not play before olympics again,

- she gets injured when POL will play next year before olympics.

 

This is a very risky situation.

 

She may get one of 2 legacy champ / grand slam champ places ofc but she may not. Osaka, Wozniacki and some others may be chosen.

 

So I am really disappointed she chose not to play in Seville.

 

 

How is this all Iga/Fed Cup is being played in Poland?

this requirement is pretty stupid tbh and if the Polish Tennis Association is ok with her not participating they can always tell ITF that it was a technical decision, etc. In the end, the tennis association will choose if she's allowed or not. the 2 legacy champs/grand slams are also decided on merits of ranking, so if PTA rules her out, she's out - but i doubt it.

Svitolina said recently in the interview, that she talked about this legacy quoat and was told she would get it if needed.

But she is going to play one more tounament for the national team next year before the Games. So she hopes she will need that legacy quota.

How is Svitolina in this discussion?

 

Either way, Swiatek or Svitolina won't need the LEgacy quota, they can get it with ranking points easily.

But remember that legacy quota is an addendum to the rankings, so the same rules & conditions apply. The legacy quota is only an "extra" to garantee that someone under 70 or so and up top 400 in the rankings goes to the Olympics.

 

The "national team conditions" are the same either through direct ranking, Legacy or universality... if she is number 1 or 20 and doesn't get the ranking direct quota she is NOT elegible for the legacy.

It's because Elina also doesn't have a permitted amount of participation in the Billie-Jean Cup, therefore she's also in contention with the Legacy quota or some other issues can be considered.

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

[JoshMartini007 2,214]

Yeah, the conditions are not very strict. The athletes which cite the conditions as a reason for not playing at the Olympics, probably weren't keen at playing anyway.

It honnestly feels more like a way to let players skip the Olympics with everyone saving face than anything else.
