The IOC really needs to consider dropping tennis. Clearly a lot of the top players don't care about the Olympic tournament.

Maybe Jozef Kovalik will sneak in. @hckošice

 

Dellien is getting closer too.

For me Dellien is in.  It was Balazs ( no?), Cerundulo-Argentina(in), Griekspoor - Ned (probably no, it will be european quota, but Czech take it) , Wild (Brasil), 125. Dzumhur - Bosnia (like NED. He is in startlist in the tournament which take place during Olympics) 126. Kovalik  (Slovakia decline like Martin)?  129. Dellien (Bolivia). Next Aus-4, Peru, Austria? In document ITF we have 62 players and Pospisils is out.

returning the ranking points to the tournament would help, I think.

Vasek Pospisil is out... means Canada is out in doubles too

Well if there is any silver lining there, Auger-Aliassime (who based on interviews is very much going to Tokyo) said he would probably not play mixed doubles because three events would be too much. I maintain that Dabrowski / Auger-Aliassime in mixed is Canada's best medal chance in Tennis by a wide margin, so Pospisil withdrawing might end up being a good thing.

The two biggest things the IOC could do to help make sure Olympic tennis has all the best players:

1. Ranking point equivalent to an ATP-1000 event
2. Have the Olympics not take place in the middle of a pandemic in a country that has unusually strict restrictions

This didn't really happen in Beijing, London, or Rio though

There were some issues with Rio, but ya the Beijing and (especially) London Tennis tournaments were huge successes.

Cerundolo is in, but not Balazs?

Yes. Maybe Hungary gave up this quota, maybe our Hungarian friends know something
