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 :p 

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

Switzerland 3 Federer Roger Hingis Martina 1 4 1
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
Great Britain 2 Murray Jamie Konta Johanna 18 20 11
Poland 21 Matkowski Marcin Radwanska Agnieszka 3 24 12
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)

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.

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.

 

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

    • The Democrats have only themselves to blame for the outcome. However, just to think what were two candidates for a president of the most powerful country is just laughable. The meltdown of European countries on these results is quite a popcorn moment though, love to see it, especially the German one.  Also, someone said RIP Ukraine, RIP Palestinians - like Palestinians were doing so well over the past year while Democrats were still in charge, so now is gonna be even worse? Yeah, Trump might not be as generous in helping Ukraine though.   
    • because jews decide everything in USA , no matter voters are ...have you ever heard about "tampering"...jews killed Kennedy  , Monica Iivinsky sucked Bill Clinton , Satanyahu did put an item of spy into the toilet of Boris Johnson ..etc ...etc ,   tampering votes shocked you
    • What I'm surprised at here is that the sunrise and sunset both change by 27/28 minutes over those two weeks, providing almost an hour more of sunlight from the beginning of the Games to the end. I didn't realize it changed that fast. Growing up in Canada, I always felt like one day in late October we suddenly got 4 hours less sunlight, and one day in early April we suddenly got 4 hours more.

    • He's a businessman and the world simply doesn't remember what the world looks like when USA adopts isolationism. Trump will get involved if only he can make a profit. And his #1 geopolitical enemy is China. Not Russia, North Korea or Iran but China. Modern society especially in Europe simply doesn't understand that becuse nobody is old enough to remember the Monroe Doctrine which predates fascism by a full century. I don't think even in USA they call James Monroe a fascist
    • Fans of FC Heidenheim making a lot of noise outside my front window just now.  
    • Vast majority of Americans will disagree with you. That's all that counts. I dont see many differences in so called fascism between democrats and republicans. Both were bombing any country they picked, both were ruining systems they wanted to.  I prefer reds more because they are at least honest about it. Also, i dont like what this ultraliberalism brought to our whole Earth. Whoever opposes this level of insanity will have my vote.  
    • YEC Semi-Finals are set:   Aryna Sabalenka vs Cori Gauff Barbora Krejcikova vs Zheng Qinwen   Krecikova beating Gauff in two sets means Iga Świątek was eliminated with 2-1 record. Sabalenka clinched Year-End #1 after winning the first two matches and Świątek not winning all three RR matches before already.
    • He is fascist. Even use the same narration like famous german/Austrian painter.
