Is Vajda in the official team staff ?

hm, i don't know

 

Troicki is coach of men's team (also Davis cup coach)

Lukáš Klein, you know, the kid who has no Davis Cup participation but ITF accepted him to play with Polášek in Doubles, will now also play the M Singles

 

Our federation received a couple of hours ago an official invitation from ITF for him to replace the Italian Berettini, since he is already in Tokyo, we accepted.

 

What a Olympic debut for a 275th singles and 276th doubles player

Well, even Olympics need walking byes in tennis

US would only had 3 women in individual since Coco's withdrawall happend after closing the list. Her place went to the best placed only doubles player already in Japan, #137 ranked Renata Zarazúa from 

 

 

Idk who replaces Coco in doubles, but considering Riske and Brady are there, I imagine one of them would play with Melichar.
