What about Mens doubles and Mixed doubles?

In Men's Doubles, AITA is going to convince Bopanna to team up with Paes. And Mirza-Bopanna team is almost sure for Mixed.

Now that tennis rankings are out, here is the possible field for mixed doubles...

 

Country	Rank	Male	Female	Rank	CR	No
Switzerland	3	Federer Roger	Hingis Martina	1	4	1
France	1	Mahut Nicolas	Garcia Caroline	3	4	2
USA	4	Bob Bryan	Serena Williams	1	5	3
Spain	4	Nadal Rafael	Muguruza Garbine	2	6	4
France	3	Herbert Pierre-Hugues	Mladenovic Kristina	4	7	5
India	10	Bopanna Rohan	Mirza Sania	1	11	6
Romania	6	Tecau Horia	Halep Simona	5	11	7
Switzerland	5	Wawrinka Stan	Bencic Belinda	8	13	8
USA	5	Mike Bryan	Mattek Bethanie	9	14	9
Czech Republic	8	Berdych Tomas	Hradecká Lucie	10	18	10

Poland	21	Matkowski Marcin	Radwanska Agnieszka	3	24	12
Serbia	1	Djokovic Novak	Ana Ivanovic	25	26	13
Australia	12	Peers John	Stosur Samantha	14	26	14
Spain	14	Ferrer David	Suarez-Navarro Carla	15	29	15
Germany	26	Kohlschreiber Philipp	Kerber Angelique	4	30	16
Belarus	26	Mirnyi Max	Azarenka Viktoria	6	32	17
Netherlands	7	Rojer Jean-Julien	Bertens Kiki	27	34	18
Romania	11	Mergea Florin	Niculescu Monica	26	37	19
Italy	34	Fognini Fabio	Vinci Roberta	7	41	20

Ukraine	31	Dolgopolov Aleksandr	Svitolina Elina	19	50	25
Italy	40	Seppi Andreas	Pennetta Flavia	13	53	26

 

 

I feel like, in the end, the participating pairs will be 2 each from SUI, FRA and USA (if Serena doesn't play, Madison Keys or Abigail Spears can play) and 1 each from IND, ROU, GBR, AUS. The remaining 2 pairs likely to be from CZE, ESP, SRB, NED, BLR or GER. 

 

Likely wild cards - BRA, ARG, TUN, MEX

@Partha_SG I am talking about the scenario, They have been davis Cup partner. If u are not compatible and have issues then top 2 players too cant help each other, that was my review of the situation.

Well if bhupathi forces people to have bad relations with paes coz manages them - that cannot be a reason to drop Leander. And the Olympic is nobody's personal fiefdom. Bopanna cannot insist on his favourite partner if that doesn't serve India's interest. AITA will shoot him down. 

[Partha_SG 1]

Sushil Kumar 's plan of taking the shortcut to the Olympics ( probably hatched by his fil Satpal) might cost India more than a medal. In the dilemma of the trial - the Belarus trip of the squad had to be cancelled . Yogeshwar Dutt says in 2012 the Belarus trip helped him a lot. Then a trip was scheduled to Poland. But even that is now in doldrums. Yogi is extremely frustrated and says it might be difficult now for the wrestlers to perform at their peak in the Olympics due to this loss of time. WFI has to take the blame for dragging it's feat so long on the trial question

Tintu came second with a timing of 2:00.61 in Prague...

I don't think Federer and Nadal will played mixed doubles. 3 matches per day!

If they don't play then India will be seeded 4th

[Sanjib 17]

Guys, I'm surprised to see no participation for OP Jaisha and L Suriya in 5000m/10,000m anywhere in the last 1 month. What kind of planning is this? I thought they had very good chances specially in 5000m.

It iss going to very tough for India to win Medal in Tennis. All nations will put their best players.

Federer has declared at some point in the recent past that he will be playing with Hingis. In fact, he was even trying to get Hingis out of retirement for London XD.

 

Nothing is of course for certain, especially with Federer's recent injury, but pretty good chance he'll play. If he feels 3 events are too much, he may even choose XD over MD.

 

And seedings will not be decided on current rankings, but qualification will. Seedings will be based on latest available rankings at time of draw. So a lot can change between now and then, especially at Wimbledon.

Just a query. What about the Seeding's in badminton, have they been already decided, or will be decided based on the ranking's in August? Australian Open and a couple of Grand Prix Gold events to come, Jwala/Ashwini currently are 9th I guess, if they can push to 8th position, it will really help them.
