De_Gambassi 961 Posted June 6, 2016 #881 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Il y a 1 heure , kapil857 a déclaré: 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... For France, Mladenovic announcerd before RG that she was going to play with Herbert during the Olympics. Garcia-Mahut is also a given There should be the 4 top seeded doubles: Federer/Hingis (Sui/4) Mahut/Garcia (Fra/4) Bryan/Williams (USA/5) Muguruza/Nadal (ESP/6) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They actually paired together for London, so it is not an unlikely combo. Seppi-Erani unlikely to qualify based on rankings...realistically there may not be any italian pairs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Not sure about anything. I have just listed the best possible pairs based on rankings. Zverev/Petkovic unlikely to qualify...essentially implies there is unlikely to be a German XD pair in Rio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wants two medals, of course single is priority ( actually final is his goal as he said few days ago) u sure he has placed men's doubles on higher priority over mixed ??

By the way, do you know what would be the tie-breaker in case of an equal combined ranking ?

De_Gambassi 961 Posted June 6, 2016 #890 Share Posted June 6, 2016 il y a 1 minute, Dolby a déclaré: They havent played enough Davis Cup ties (according to Wikipedia) Yeah, I've read that too, but I find it amusing that when everyone (from medias, to fans and themselves included) act like they are qualified to Rio, that someone will look at a wikipedia page and say: no, you all are wrong Anyway, the reason why they are "selectable" is because of the "Strenght of Nation" amendement The Davis Cup/Fed Cup thing exists only to exclude from the olympics players that refuse international duty, not the ones who are not selected in the first place.
