Also means that Wawrinka and Bencic are not playing !!!! Though, mixed doubles decisions can always change at the last minute...

 

And Nadal/Lopez are playing while Nadal/Muruguzza is also a strong possibility...

Not sure if that's gonna happen. Had Rafa been playing injury free right now, it was a strong possibility (by his own admission)

He plans to start practising only in July and then appear only in just a single tournament - Rogers cup, before Rio. Thus seems difficult to me. One of MD / XD could go. XD most likely IMO

This is so unfair. There should be some criteria for playing doubles and mixed doubles tennis at Olympics. Singles players will easily dominate the regular doubles players.

Criteria like considering only doubles rank to play in doubles. Why should singles rank be considered

Ya agreeing with u smit.... doubles specialists play yearlong doubles,wins grandslams but in Oly singles stars enter and it's all done

I am completly agree with all of you. In Olympics tennis should fallow badminton, in badminton double entry is totaly separated from singles. however problem is that in double events of every international tournament of badminton, each pair contains the Player of same nationality. And they are using raking for pairs So it is easier for them to make a seprate entry for singles and doubles. Even Mixed doubles is separated from men and women doubles. However in tennis 90% of the pairs taking part in grand slams and other regular ranking events, contains player with different nationality. If we create separate entry system like badminton than many countries who have only a one good double players will face problem of choosing a suitable partner. Maximum nations will oppose this change in entry system.

Guys...this is sport. It is the Olympics. As the Star Sports ad says "Isse bada kuch nahin" (Translation: Nothing is bigger than this).

 

If you wanna win gold, you should be the best in the world. Not win gold by preventing the entry itself of the best players in the world. 

 

If the argument is that the singles players will dominate the doubles playes in doubles too, well then the doubles players dont deserve the medals.

    • I read now that Valentina Rodini will be in the new team of Tizzano + Galtarossa and Martini. I was probably in such an information bubble on Instagram that I thought that only Abbagnale was running a campaign and had a team of people around him. That's why I was surprised by his defeat + the fact that, for example, Rodini supports his rival. But as I wrote, for me the change in the general coach position is a plus. We need a new opening and a new impulse: Cattaneo had his best results in Tokyo and then he only explained that his rowers were running away abroad to the USA to study and that's why he had worse results. Ok, except that it's the same in Romania and Greece but they results are comparable or better. It's obvious that no one here will make the UK or the Netherlands, because we don't have such resources and money but I think we can repeat the Romanian results (2 gold - 3 silver in Paris) and that will be a much better result than the 2 silver in this year.
    • Abbagnale boasted that he had 80 per cent a few days before the vote (I still have the screen) and ran again as a result of a power deal. Not a great loss.   I have doubts about the new technical director though, you can't announce him during the congress, brandishing the scalp of the Abbagnale era technical staff (who then, were Crispi's men). Let's hope there are no rifts between the new staff and the athletes, it had to be handled better.
    • I was surprised by Abbagnale's defeat. I thought he was a sure of victory, since he decided to run - I read some source that he didn't know if he would start before Paris 2024. What do you think about it?

    • Cattaneo was good but his peak was in Tokyo 2021. Then there was such stabilization - stagnation. In Paris the result was in line with expectations but without the wow effect. They threw everything that was best into the quadruple sculls and it was enough for a only silver. Now without the lightweight sculls in LA I think that radical changes are needed to remain competitive. Previously there was a 3-year Olympic cycle due to Covid, so big changes weren`t good but now I think the time is right. Although of course more funds are needed for this sport in Italy, because even the best coach will not overcome this vel our men`s alpine skiing sector
    • @Gianlu33 we posted the same (great) news at the same time  
    • Davide Tizzano (1996 Olympic Champion, men's double sculls) is the new President of the Italian Federation, as he defeated the (now former) President Giuseppe Abbagnale by a very small margin (52% to 48%) in last week's federal elections   and he's already at work to make up for the last 8 disappointing years (at least in terms of Olympic success): his first move is bringing back home  Antonio Colamonaci  who made  great in the past 8 years   https://www.oasport.it/2024/11/canottaggio-cambia-la-direzione-tecnica-dellitalia-arriva-il-guru-che-ha-reso-grande-la-romania/   let's see if he can make  great again, now
