dcro 10,179 Posted June 30, 2016 #161 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Well this is disaster. We might have had a small chance for something in men's doubles but that's gone with Dodig not participating (for whatever reason). Moreover, both our Olympic committee and tennis federation said NOTHING regarding Olympic qualification in the past month. I would have to be a masochist to still cheer for them... #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshMartini007 2,204 Posted June 30, 2016 #162 Share Posted June 30, 2016 (edited) By my count we have 193 athletes competing when the max was suppose to be 172. I guess that's what happens when the IOC forces you to reallocate the ITF Places to the next highest ranked athletes. A more realistic quota distribution would have been 192 athletes.

Whenas there was a good chance for gain right to participate for the first time. She just missed the rankings, she was ranked 77th at the cut-off and 72nd was the last normally ranked athlete to qualify. She's currently third in line as replacement (not sure if the two ahead of her have fulfilled the Fed Cup requirements though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems that Lucic-Baroni is the only player who is not allowed to play because of missing Fed Cup requirements. All others who don't already have four players from their country in front of them were allowed to enter the competition (except for Sharapova).
