Nice win and cool to see another one with a career Grand Slam and now really being one of the best players of all time  

 

Anything better than Murray anyway

France	1	Mahut Nicolas	Garcia Caroline	3	4	2
USA	4	Bob Bryan	Serena Williams	1	5	3
Spain	4	Nadal Rafael	Muguruza Garbine	2	6	4
France	3	Herbert Pierre-Hugues	Mladenovic Kristina	4	7	5
India	10	Bopanna Rohan	Mirza Sania	1	11	6
Romania	6	Tecau Horia	Halep Simona	5	11	7
Switzerland	5	Wawrinka Stan	Bencic Belinda	8	13	8
USA	5	Mike Bryan	Mattek Bethanie	9	14	9
Czech Republic	8	Berdych Tomas	Hradecká Lucie	10	18	10

Serbia	1	Djokovic Novak	Ana Ivanovic	25	26	13
Australia	12	Peers John	Stosur Samantha	14	26	14
Spain	14	Ferrer David	Suarez-Navarro Carla	15	29	15
Germany	26	Kohlschreiber Philipp	Kerber Angelique	4	30	16
Belarus	26	Mirnyi Max	Azarenka Viktoria	6	32	17
Netherlands	7	Rojer Jean-Julien	Bertens Kiki	27	34	18
Romania	11	Mergea Florin	Niculescu Monica	26	37	19
Italy	34	Fognini Fabio	Vinci Roberta	7	41	20
Czech Republic	31	Stepanek Radek	Hlavackova Andrea	11	42	21
Serbia	21	Troicki Viktor	Jankovic Jelena	24	45	22
Russia	42	Kuznetsov Andrey	Vesnina Elena	7	49	23
Germany	34	Petzschner Philipp	Goerges Julia	16	50	24
Ukraine	31	Dolgopolov Aleksandr	Svitolina Elina	19	50	25
Italy	40	Seppi Andreas	Pennetta Flavia	13	53	26

 

 

I feel like, in the end, the participating pairs will be 2 each from SUI, FRA and USA (if Serena doesn't play, Madison Keys or Abigail Spears can play) and 1 each from IND, ROU, GBR, AUS. The remaining 2 pairs likely to be from CZE, ESP, SRB, NED, BLR or GER. 

 

Likely wild cards - BRA, ARG, TUN, MEX

 

If anyone has info about who has confirmed they are playing or not playing, please post...

Djokovic will play only in single and men's dobules with Zimonjic. 3 disciplines would be too much. He wants two medals, of course single is priority ( actually final is his goal as he said few days ago)

[stefanbg 166]

Pennetta retired from professional tennis, so a more likely pair would be Seppi-Errani. They actually paired together for London, so it is not an unlikely combo.

For all the tennis experts, what are the chances of Daniel Nestor competing in the doubles event?

Are you sure about Petzschner? How did he qualify?

I think there is still a possibility for no german male player in Rio. Kohlschreiber didnt want to play in 2012 and now that there are no points awarded i am not sure that he will play. Zverev might try to push his ranking by playing somewhere else, just like Tomic, Thiem or Kyrgios. I think Kerber/Petkovic and Siegemund/Beck will play womens doubles for sure. I dont think that Kerber will play all 3 events and i dont think that Zverev/Kohlschreiber will play mens doubles, so i think we wont have a mens double. I think we could see a combination like Zverev/Petkovic in mixed doubles.
