Mixed doubles .....with so many pull outs ......bryans , federer , any news on the seeds for mixed doubles ????

Sania/Bopanna would have combined ranking of 11. The only possible pairs with lower CR are Spain (Nadal/Muguruza) and 2 French pairs (all 4 of Garcia, Mladenovic, Mahut and Herbert are in top 5). So, I think, we would be seeded 4th. Suddenly medal seems a real possibility.

I go with you for the best case scenario 8-10. Shooting: 2 ( any one from abinav, gagan,jitu, sandhu and 1 more hopefully from others) Wrestling: 2, Archery, Badminton, Tennis, Hockey 1 each. But gold in shooting will be tough ask, but we cannot rule it out as anything can happen in the given day.

I think he will try and play Mixed Doubles. Less stress and more chance of a medal.
