I really dislike the new Davis and BJK Cup formats, makes these wins feel like a real anticlimax.

 

Still, amazing to see Canada win both these tournaments, would have been completely unthinkable when I first started following Tennis.

Been a pretty dull tennis season for Canadians (not unless you’re a fan of other players like me), but we’re back!

 

Felix Auger-Aliassime with a confidence boosting win at the Madrid Open ATP 1000, defeating Casper Ruud 6-4, 7-5 to advance to the quarterfinals! He was on fire throughout the match, tallied 33 winners and 13 unforced errors. Pretty good for only two sets of tennis. Quarterfinals tomorrow against Jannik Sinner, 2-0 H2H in favor of him but the last meeting was at the Cincinnati Masters in 2022. However, he’s been struggling with right hip issues throughout the tournament, so maybe FAA can take advantage of that.

FAA advances to the semifinals after Sinner withdraws with injury. Medvedev/Lehecka up next on Friday.

Auger-Aliassime through to his first career Masters 1000 final at the Madrid Open. Yet another retirement/walkover going in favor of the Canadian, this time Lehecka due to a back injury. Coincidentally, Lehecka advanced over Medvedev in the quarterfinals also due to a back injury retirement.

He's currently 72nd on the list given the four per country max and the fact :CHN Zhang is qualified form the Asian Games (which takes priority over the world ranking when it comes to allocating quotas to countries).

 

If he wins his next match he'll be 62nd (or 63rd if :SVK Kovalík goes further than him), which should be safe.

 

None of this accounts for protected rankings, which can be used to qualify for the Olympics.

Looking into it a bit more, a protected ranking must be valid as of June 27th to be used for Olympic qualification. I know Shapovalov used a protected ranking to qualify for the French Open, but I'm not sure when it expires.

 

Edit: based on my understanding of the rules if Shapovalov hasn't used eight or more protected ranking entries since coming back from injury then he is allowed to use a protected ranking to qualify for the Olympics.

How many tournaments has Shapo used PR for?

 

Another question, is there a limit to how many athletes qualify through PR?

I don't know, and I don't think there is a way to know without going through all 13 tournaments (by my count) he's played since his injury and counting them.

 

There is a nine month limit (which isn't an issue here) and a nine tournament limit, but the nine tournament limit only applies for tournaments entered using the protected ranking, wild cards and direct entry doesn't count.

 

There is no limit to how many athletes qualify through PR. It counts the same as a regular ranking, but the "real" ranking holds the tie breaker.

    • @bestmen Look, I've been reading your comments regarding Russia for quite some time, and I don't want to bite my tongue this time.   First, context matters. I agree with @copravolley. It’s not an insult to say that people who don’t live near Russia often underestimate what this war actually means for Europe. Out of the three of us, I can say with certainty that I feel the most directly affected by and concerned about this war.   In the same way I wouldn’t share my opinions on Africans and the conflicts on their continent, or lecture Palestinians about the war in Gaza, it’s reasonable to listen first when Europeans explain why this is not just a political disagreement that happens to block Russian athletes from competing, but an ongoing war of aggression that doesn’t only affect Ukraine, but also countless other countries located nearby with a long and dramatic history of communism and Russian influence. To make it clear, you're absolutely entitled to your opinion. However, you have repeatedly pushed the same narrative about the supposed injustice towards Russian competitors.   Second of all, the claim that Russian athletes have nothing to do with politics is blatantly wrong. It's a lie, and you know it. Countless Russians are actively supporting the crimes that Russia is committing on Ukrainian soil, advocating for further military operations, and show little to no remorse. Many Russians supported Putin throughout his presidential campaigns and continued doing so even after the invasion. Just look at their public statements made over the past three years. They are expected to align with the state’s narrative. That’s not an individual moral judgment, it’s how the system works.   Major Russian sports clubs are directly linked to or derived from the military. Hockey players wear war symbols and slogans on their jerseys, and this is only the tip of the iceberg. Russian sports and politics are two sides of the same coin, closely related ever since the state began pouring money into centralised doping programs and sporting propaganda. Bringing up Netanyahu or Israeli doping is pretty much just whataboutism. If there is proven, systematic wrongdoing in sport, it should be addressed through proper investigations and sanctions. That does not magically erase or excuse Russia’s actions, nor does it justify pretending this war doesn’t exist when it becomes inconvenient.

    • Slovakia pulled the goalie out in the Overtime and played 4 vs 3  for more than 2 minutes    We suddeenly pulled out goalie and have control of the puck for like 2 minutes in the first 2 minutes of the overtime but without soring than lost the puck and give up a 2 on 0 breakaway empty net goal for the czechs    Interesting strategy 
    • The doomongering made what I post on here seem positive. Everything possible to go wrong was predicted fo go wrong.
