Jur 546 Posted March 14 #2 Share Posted March 14 Tennis apparently starts tomorrow and is a Olympic Qualification event, but I can't find the entry list. Anyone knows it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pasolini 142 Posted March 17 #3 Share Posted March 17 So, if I understand well, only those athletes are realistically vying for an Olympic quota. I was surprised at the lack of South African men here but given their issues in the past, probably they are not connected to the federation. The only one is out of the rankings if I'm not mistaken They have to be in the top400 to effectively qualify. I think those that are bubbling under may get the help to participate in tournaments and financial aid as well to travel and gain enough points. Currently Lock, for instance, is under that on the "Race to Paris", for instance. He is the boyfriend of Laura Pigossi, who won the PanAm Games and qualified as well. Sherif is #135 on the Race to Paris, so she may need effectively a win here. MEN'S Aziz Dougaz #234 Moez Echargui #318 Benjamin Lock #355 Mohamed Safwat #368 Skander Mansouri #404 Eliakim Coulibaly #473 stretching...

Pasolini 142 Posted March 17 #4 Share Posted March 17 Having said all that, it's a bit of a nightmare to follow... You find things like that on the scorelines There is one Kenyan journalist and one from Zimbabwe that may help us with that specially when time comes to decide things. thepharoah and Josh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympian1010 7,483 Posted March 17 #5 Share Posted March 17 Yeah, following the results using the results system has been a nightmare The federation websites have been a bit better in my opinion.

Pasolini 142 Posted March 19 #6 Share Posted March 19 The 4 main seeds at the men's draw are alive. they are the only ones that could realistically use the Olympic quota. Aziz Dougaz needed a 10-8 MTB win to pass in the first round and will face Elliot Benchetri in a QF Moez Echargui play against Eliakim Coulibaly Benjamin Lock lost at the R32 according to the official website but he also won (?) so he will face Michel Bassem in the QF (seriously, what's so difficult on posting a pdf draw in the website?) Mohamed Safwat #368 will face Iradukunda Guy Orly On the women's side WOMEN'S Mayar Sherif is the big favorite and is on the QF. The only other African woman on the top400, Sada Nahimana started well, winning 6-0 6-0 but then lost to a south african player. I wonder if the Universality quota will go to her or again to Josh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshMartini007 2,222 Posted March 19 #7 Share Posted March 19 The tripartite quota on the women's side is quite competitive. Currently in the top 400 we have: Lina Gjorcheska (239) Danka Kovinic (241) Kathinka von Deichmann (277) Francesca Curmi (311) Sada Nahimana (336) Victoria Jimenez (364) While I would love Burundi to get the quota and help boost tennis in Africa, Liechtenstein might force the tripartite committee's hand. They aren't eligible to send a swimmer and they don't compete in athletics (when was the last time they competed at a World Championships?) so without a tripartite quota they won't compete at the Olympics. Outside of tennis their most likely tripartite quota would be in mountain biking. Also Liechtenstein has a higher ranking than Burundi so that may also play into their hand.
