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

Yes because of Zika, but I don't remember too many people withdrawing. I remember Halep and Cibulkova.

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

I feel it’s more likely ranking points will be reintroduced.

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

 

I mean even a 500 level event (or that hybrid 1000/500 points they gave at prior Olympics) would be enough to encourage more people to stay. Really at this point there's no money and no points and Olympic gold isn't enough of a draw for what is essentially "working for free" for a week.

I would love to see what is happening in the ITF office now

 

Just cancel the event or maybe ITF will change their mind quickly and will give points for competing.

Marcelo Demoliner  in to play doubles.

 

Also Thiago Wild was selected to play singles but rejected due to injury
