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)

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.

 

Seppi-Erani unlikely to qualify based on rankings...realistically there may not be any italian pairs

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.

 

 

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

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)

 

u sure he has placed men's doubles on higher priority over mixed ??

Seeding will actually not be determined by current rankings but the latest available rankings at the time of the draw. With wimbledon left, the rankings could change a lot. However, qualification will depend on current rankings only...

Ah thanks, didn't know that. 

 

By the way, do you know what would be the tie-breaker in case of an equal combined ranking ? (like we have at the moment between Fed/Hingis and Mahut/Garcia)

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 :d

 

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.

    • When it comes to power, confidence and match-winning ability, women's cricket has produced some truly fearless batsmen over the years. These players didn't just score runs - they changed games, calmed crowds and intimidated bowlers. Based on influence, consistency and ability to dominate attacks, here is my 2026 Forum list of the top 7 most dangerous women batsmen in cricket history.   At the top, Meg Lanning stands out for her quiet aggression and leadership. She could control an innings and then suddenly explode. Behind her is Harmanpreet Kaur, known for her raw power and clutch performances, especially in big tournaments.   Ellyse Perry deserves a special mention. Her technique, fitness and ability to increase pace make her lethal in all formats. Smriti Mandhana brings purpose with grandeur - once she gets going, bowlers struggle to find answers.   From a bygone era, Mithali Raj may not have looked aggressive, but her mental strength and ability to bat for long periods make her extremely dangerous. Suzy Bats has become a nightmare for bowlers in ODIs and T20s, as she mixes timing and smart shot selection. The list also includes Deandra Dottin, whose power-hitting can change a match in just a few overs.   What connects all these stars is their fearless mentality. Each has earned the tag of Dangerous Women's Batsman by performing consistently under pressure and against the best bowlers in the world. For fans who love in-depth cricket discussions, statistics and trending topics, Cricbites is becoming a popular platform to explore women's cricket in a fresh and engaging way.

    • Off to Milan for the 145th session of the International Olympic Committee. Although the agenda has not been published yet, there shouldn’t be any major items over these two days, apart from the election of a member of the IOC Executive Board. This will be the eighth time the session is held in Italy, the last one being during the Turin 2006 Olympic Games.

    • What is happening in Canada , people leave it  They say life is very expensive , you cant find an appartement , the salary is miserable    is it the multi tax of Trump? 
    • Weightlifting We now have six events per gender with a total of 10 athletes per event.   The Olympic Qualification Rankings will be based on the sum of the total results of five events (three from period 1 and two from period 2). The top 8 will qualify.   The 9th spot will also be based on the OQR, but it will go to the highest ranked athlete from an unrepresented continent.   The 10th spot will be split between the host and universality (3 each per gender). Should the United States qualify normally then their host quota will be reduced, first going to an athlete from an unrepresented continent then to the overall highest ranked athlete.   Additionally, a "Best Lifter" will be awarded which would give the nation the chance to qualify 4 athletes rather than the max of 3.
    • The probability of winning a medal in the men's 500m also seems a bit off   
    • 66% chance for a medal in moguls seems low though...   Men's relay being 5th in short track, and Clarke only having a 0.5% chance at a medal also seem off   Why is ski mountaineering there, we didn't even qualify anyone
