The ITF isn't responsible for giving points, it's the ATP/WTA and last I heard (this was years ago) they refuse to give points until the IOC/ITF compensate the major tournaments held during the same week as the Olympics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly a lot of the top players don't care about the Olympic tournament. They do care, but IOC/ITF and ATP/WTA don't make it easy. And Covid is playing havoc with all professional sport. No-one who saw Rafa's doubles win in Rio, Djoks tears when Del Potro put him out, or either of the Murray finals would under any illusion players don't care. Different players have different relationships with it - for both Murray and De Potro, it's absolutely a major part of their legacy, for Djok it's the one last thing he doesn't have. For Roger, it's a national pride thing for a country with limited summer olympic gold opportunities. for some of the Mixed doubles pairs, its validation of their event, for others its just a festival of sport, a cnahnce to rub shoulders with heroes in other sports - (and the lack of fans is undoubtedly putting many off) LuizGuilherme and Makedonas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NMQ 222 Posted July 16, 2021 #430 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Even with all the withdrawals it's a great field as most of the top 10 players will be there. And with less competition in the early rounds they should all reach the final stages of the tournament. Adriano and Makedonas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
