Currently Peter Zilka has a continental quota in -90kg.

 

Remember 100+ nations will qualify thanks to continental quotas (plus 20 more thanks to tripartite).

As a top 10 doubles player, Polasek is directly qualified and can choose any partner with a top 300 singles or doubles ranking, so why wouldn't they play?

I did not know about this rule. Awesome, then there a hope, we are not going to miss Olympic Tennis for the first time ever.

Thanks
