Tennis at the Summer Olympic Games 2020


Recommended Posts

:CZE Marketa Vondrousova beats :UKR Elina Svitolina 63 61 to complete the final line-up.

 

No matter what happens in the final Marketa has silenced the critics and the stupid ITF PR deal that left Muchova on the sidelines.

No tennis medal for Greece :cry:

Pretty disappointing. I think some Greek fans had expectations that were way too high (expecting 3 tennis medals), but I thought we could've gotten 1. Oh well...

 

 

Happy for Djokovic that he's in two semifinals. I hope he wins gold in singles and another medal in mixed doubles!

Bencic is also in the doubles final w/Golubic. However they will be total outsiders against Krejcikova/Siniakova (whom I picked to win doubles in predictions myself).

 

Also for the bet contest - anyone who picked a player wins two medals in tennis can cash out already (however even I didn't expect Bencic will be that player :lol: ).

It's interesting because one could've expected her to win a medal in mixed doubles with Federer or in women's doubles with either Hingis or Bacsinszky (who won silver together in Rio and both retired since then)

Sorry but I will be very annoyed if Rybakina wins bronze over Svitolina. I hate when countries like Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Turkey buy athletes and then win medals. I think it is totally against the Olympic spirit if you don't have connections to a country other than money.

This isn't any different than Johanna Konta switching over to UK or Ajla Tomljanovic representing Australia. They were simply offered better financial support in a sport which is very expensive until you reach a certain level of success.

Yes, I wouldn't want them winning medals either especially Tomljanovic because her 'connections' are so fake.

 

They can win WTA tour events and I don't care, but not the Olympics.

 

Although I think Konta did live in the UK for several years growing up so I'll give her a pass.

Time for the bronze medal match.

 

:NZL Venus/Daniell will try to win New Zealand's first tennis medal (not counting Australasia), while :USA Krajicek/Sandgren are the last medal chance for America here in Tokyo...

    • Obviously impossible to know in advance but in 2022 all ten skaters Canada qualfiied skated individually, and 9/10 competed in a relay as well.
    • 4-3  over  at the break, Norway with hammer.
    • whatever you heard is just speculation. no one knows at the moment, probably even the orange himself.   and Iranian athletes failed to get visa so many times before. even female athletes. there is no pattern, it's just too random.    and yes Iran has a system of compulsory military service for men, and there is 50% chance for anybody to be randomly drafted by IRGC affiliated organizations. that's the case for Taremi and few others in the current team.  
    • Would you believe the NCAA Indoor season has already started?      
    • Some changes that I've noticed:   3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas.   Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas.   Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas. Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality.   Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium.   Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16.    Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas.   Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia.   Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts.   Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier.   Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships   Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return on World Cup qualifiers.   Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed.   Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024
    • For Italy, the match against Japan and likely the final match against Estonia will be a safe/relegation game, but I'm think that whether the match against Estonia will be decisive on anything, if we have 0 points after 4 matches. We're currently the worst team here – we have 0 points and are taking significantly fewer shots than our opponents in each match. Japan and Estonia are looking better for now and unfortunately, without significant improvement play starting tomorrow, we'll likely be relegated to the fourth division. With the absence of Russia and Belarus, this will be a shame, even for the weaker 2006/2007 age generation. Especially, since we are playing this tournament at home. For anyone could have competed with a good shape, except perhaps Hungary, who are currently the best team in the tournament.
    • They shouldn't promise additional spots to countries that qualify 3 athletes in each distance, because then taking those spots away isn't fair. For example, in Italy, Previtali won the 500m QO for country but he would likely have to stay at home because the staff probably would have chosen Casinelli for the relay (Casinelli won't be competing individually at all). I don't know what the situation is in Canada with the fifth-place skater? Will this person only compete in the relay, or will he also be a reserve there? 
    • That's too bad. Athletes who finish in the top 32 (or 36 for the 1590m) should be the priority over the 5th athlete from a relay country.   So Croatia loses their 2nd women's quota, Hong Kong loses their only women's quota and Poland loses their 3rd women's quota.   This means that Great Britain, Slovakia and Ukraine should fill up the rest of the 1500m field since they are the highest placed reserves that doesn't require an additional quota.
