Really hope that Rybáriková will do it and increase our womens team to 3 athletes, also glad to see "Kližo" back in the ranking just pitty that this time most likely we will not have a mens double..

 

 

[Wanderer 1,738]

Well, drama and matches will be shorter in Rio. There will be played tie-break in every set (if needed) so the matches like Federer-Del Potro in London will be past

Men's singles final remains best of five match. Thirdset in mixed doubles will be played as match tie break.
