Hopefully, there will be couple more withdrawals after that as well, so that Indians at 144 and 148 can also qualify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a joke from most players. I fully agree Adriano 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if that's the rule, you should call Bertens and Schuurs. They are good friends, especially Schuurs is already three years begging Bertens to play doubles with her. I think she would know that rule ... but maybe you're right. Then the solution is to withdraw Bertens for the singles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NearPup 2,334 Posted June 21, 2021 #179 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Y’all need to chill a little. Even if two thirds of the top 32 from both gender withdrew tennis would still provide more star power than most other Olympic sport. The Olympics need tennis more than the other way around.

Olympics is usually about athletics & swimming when it comes to anchor events each week. Tennis has a lot of global power but it's the same as golf. OG gold medal will never be the pinnacle of the sport's achievement (unless your name is Elena Dementieva who always choked at Grand Slams during her peak).
