According to this article, Mexico is sending with 638 competitors, a number a little high for me and that must include the coaches and staff, but if true, then our biggest delegation ever on foreign soil.

Apparently Mexico forget to register its Tennis players

I guess we know the tennis players weren't included in that number 

 

Hopefully situations like this are rectified in favor of the athletes. It isn't their fault.

Accirding to the idiotic version of the Mexican Tennis Federation, who has done nothing other than build crappy stadiums at beach resorts, the female players are to blame because they didn’t clarify being available to play. 
 

Of course no serious journalist bought this crap, and they are receiving a lot of questioning and hate from the Mexican tennis comunity.

At this point I think we can name a blunder for each NF from Mexico...

Exactly.

Sadly, both the president of the Mexican NOC and the state director for Sport, both former Olympians, are just there to get the spotlight and steal public funds, which in the case of the latter (Ana Guevara) are for hundreds of millions.

 

I should have tripped her 12 years ago at the Panamerican Athletics Stadium when I encountered her in the upper stand.
