Also, IIRC next is followed by Yes there are other Italians that can take Berettini’s place, but our Noc says it's not possible and that after 16 July we can't change the players for any reason, I don't know if it's true.....

Robertino 85 Posted July 18, 2021 #472 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Entries are now closed in terms of new replacements. Any replacements would have to be from athletes already on-site, according to ITF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if they physically have to be in Tokyo but I think they have to have a provisional accreditation now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'd rate Osaka's and Świątek's chances higher than Barty's here. Mainly due to their attitude towards Olympics. I am unashamed, at getting nothing done.

Heck even Djokovic could be vulnerable to an upset. Lets not overstate how weak this field is. Makedonas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And most of those who are missing have also been missing or haven't been doing well at the latest Grand Slam tournaments. And which missing male player could likely have challenged Djokovic for the win? Probably Nadal, but that's about it. Makedonas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
