Don't particulary care about this sport, but why is Dodig missing??

 

 

Maybe he doesn't want to go? It looks like he's done his Davis Cup requirements so he's eligible.

okay just found it, apparently our tennis federation asked for a special let say wild card for a partner to Martin Kližan in mens doubles (either one of Andrej Martin or Igor Zelenay) and they succeed :d

 

so yeah thanks this we have officially 50 athletes in Rio !:bounce:  50 :clap:

Some stats about the singles entries.

 

The athletes which received a FP in the men's singles got it through reallocation, essentially being the next highest ranked athletes. On the women's side three of them actually went to intended athletes; Brazil's Teliana Pereira (hosts), Tunisia's Ons Jabeur (continental) and Italy's Francesca Schiavone (former GS champ).

 

Also several athlete qualified through protected rankings; Argentina's Juan Monaco and Juan Martin del Potro, Australia's Jordan Thompson and Thanasi Kokkinakis, Chinese Taipei's Lu Yen-Hsun, Poland's Jerzy Janowicz and United States' Brian Baker. On the women's side; China's Peng Shuai, Italy's Karin Knapp and Kazakhstan's Galina Voskoboeva used protected rankings to qualify.
