Monfils refused to go to Tokyo as I read. Or wrong information?

Wrong information, and this list is yet to be made official...

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.

How many fans join the Olympics just for tennis, though?

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.

No, that's not what I meant.

 

The rule (at least until 2016) was that each NOC is allowed no more than 6 tennis players per gender. And only 2 doubles specialists per gender. So Bertens can play singles and play doubles with Schuurs no problem.

 

The Dutch will have a problem on the men's side (assuming these rules are still applicable) because they have 0 singles players and 4 doubles players, but they are only allowed 2 doubles-only players per gender. Hope that explains it better.

I'm sure more people watch tennis in the Olympics than most other sports. The Olympics are not just athletics and swimming. A lot of other sports probably get a small % of viewers compared to tennis.

Ah, now I understand. Thanks for your explanation. In that case only Koolhof and Rojer will compete in the men's doubles.

Too bad, Middelkoop is dating our Greek player Valentini Grammatikopoulou

Yeah, but my feeling is that people who join for tennis are mostly interchangeable. As in, they would join even if tennis was not on program.

 

And if there are hardcore tennis fans, some of them would rather follow sething else than a tournament of withdrawals.

i dont think so. If most of the top athletes  withdraw then the results can't be representative

I'm pretty dubious about this. Unless you're a tennis fan I'm not sure that most people would necessarily notice that the sport was part of the Olympic programme given that sports like athletics, swimming and gymnastics tend to dominate coverage.

      This is a wanted behaviour so that in desktop the space is better optimized, while in mobile its shorter. Did you have something else in your mind on how to fix the issue?

      Yes, though it is weird that on my laptop, I see the shooting logo on both sides of the word...but on my mobile, the graphic only shows to the left of the word (and can't even swipe to see). But the issue of the banner going off screen is fixed.

      Would a page like this fix that issue? (ignore the format, just check if that issue would be solved).

      did send one athlete to the last edition, but she was only allowed to compete as a "guest" since they don't yet have an NOC.
