@@BobbyBruski123 it’s true. Although I’ve got a sneaking suspicion he’ll play and finish at the US Open regardless of whether he plays the Olympics or not.
are they still/scheduling doing the Olympics like it's a 2 week grand slam? I think they should play the singles week 1 and the doubles week 2- that way, singles people a=can leave and start US Open prep... In track and swimming, they don't mix the team events/relays with the individual... plus- if you did tennis this way- you might get more stars in the doubles.
Most of the top and big name singles players (Alcaraz, Nadal, Fritz, Paul, sinner, musetti, Hurkacz, Medvedev, FAA, De Minaur, Tsitsipas, Murray, Fernandez, Gauff, Pegula, Paolini, Collins, Kostyuk, Yastremska, Alexandrova, Boulter, Garcia, Sakkari, Vondrousova, Muchova, and Krejicikova) are playing doubles as well mixed doubles (Swiatek, Hurkacz, Zverev, likely Pegula and/or Gauff,).
Olympic Games are something really special. You REALLY represent your country and play with national emblem on your chest. If you win, you will hear national anthem and see national flag rising on a flagpole. And you have only three chances on average during whole career to achieve this. I find it sad there are players who don't care about playing for own country. There is more essence in tennis than just money and ranking points. BTW - some national Olympic associations pay prize money to the athletes for every medal won during Olympics.
to be honest, it would be a shame for anyone to withdraw without a decent reason. Tons of great players would go to great lengths for another chance to win for glory, for their country, for their legacy. Those who say that the olympics tennis gold isn't important, tell that to Djokovic who was crying after losing. Or Andy Murray who won gold and completely turned into a different level of player.
Olympics is important but they’re not as highly regarded as the slams or other big tournaments for various reasons. First, olympics don’t offer any ranking points. Second, they don’t give out monetary incentives and third, as what Martina said, it disrupts the summer schedule to prepare for hard courts. At the end of the day, tennis is a profession and players prefer to earn a living. With regards to Djokovic, the olympic gold is the only piece missing in his resume. For younger players, they probably don’t care that much as they will have more opportunities in the future.
@@jxod4296 money-wise yes. not as highly regarded as highly of slams? lol. slam winners definitely care about olympic medals. there are 16 slams for every olympics.
No why are u lying, Olympics can’t even be regarded as high as a grand slam, cuz it’s only best of 3. It’s treated like a masters 1000. So obviously it’s maybe as high as a masters title. Definitely even the atp finals is considered more important than Olympics
@@rener7940I actually think the Olympics are rated higher than the WTF. The WTF are criminally underrated imo. U never hear it mentioned in the goat debate when ppl stack up resumes but the Olympics always gets mentioned. Weird to me.
@@jxod4296They’ll have plenty more opportunities for slams than Olympics though. Olympics? 3-5 chances but sure.. if money is ur number 1 then u could care less.
@@ershabby Dude you can just google. You'll get a list of names: Rublev, Dimitrov, Shelton, Khachanov, Lehečka, Korda, Fokina, etc. For women: Sabalenka, Jabeur, Keys, Kasatkina, Cirstea, Mertens, etc. And none of them are outside of top 100.
Will tennis match be played on Roland garoos stadium
Yes
it should be played during two weeks and give points
We are waiting for the Olimpic Games.
See Andy Murray the last time? Didn’t they send him off at the Wimbledon already?
Paris Olympics will be Andy’s last ever professional tournament.
@@shreyaspasricha2407can someone confirm this please
Andy will ruin another medal/trophy for his brother.

He's playing with Dan Evans

@@user-pz1so2xu8j it will start on 27th July (Saturday) and end next week on 4th August (Sunday). So basically 1 week and 2 days.
Tennis at the Olympics will start from 27 of July and will finish on the 3rd of August (singles, Doubles, Mixed doubles everything included)
@@foreverFreak they're doing ALL in 1 week? Ridiculous!

@@user-pz1so2xu8jThey always do it in 1 week. Fields are smaller than in Grand Slams.

Nadal and Alcaraz... double Gold Medal for spain & Olympics finals between Nadal vs Alcaraz.
Vamos Espana 🇪🇸
do the hosts know about the Eurostar...?
They did mention it
It will be interesting Tennis!
Mens doubles Spain Vs USA: why is Ram not representing his country by wearing an official USA shirt?
ITF is powerless. They can't do anything if players withdraw and it won't even be the first time this is happening.
Lets see how many willing to withdraw
@@ershabby So many have already. See the qualification list.
I don’t understand why, isn’t it an honor to play for gold
@@anujpramanik1819 lol... who? players ranked outside 100

Really want Rafa to win gold medal in singles or more likely doubles that would make up for not winning Roland Garros earlier this year.
It would be nice, but he already won singles in 2008 and doubles in 2016. His legacy is set.
You’re entitled to no Rafa trophies and will get none
Good luck ethiipian athletics
