Olympic Tennis Paris 7/27 - 8/4 2024

This should make it clear of how important an Olympic tennis medal is.

[Suliso]

Kind of, but in the case of Jabeur also chances of winning one on clay were miniscule. Had it been on grass she would have played.

Most players don't think much of the Olympics...

Madison Keys, Ben Shelton, Sebastian Korda and Frances Tiafoe *all* opted NOT to play the Olympics in Paris despite being US top 4 players.

Giron, Eubanks, Navarro in.

[ponchi101]

It's going to end up with a field similar to a 250. At best.

Russian tennis players Veronika Kudermetova and Aslan Karatsev were not allowed to take part in the Olympic Games in Paris as neutral athletes! They are the only tennis players who failed the "neutrality test" (no connections with war, army, no symbols, statements) 1/2

Until last year, Kudermetowa played in a uniform with the logo of Tatneft - a company on the EU sanctions list. Today she is 38th in the world, but she was 9th. Karatsev is the silver medalist of the Tokyo Olympics in mixed 2/2

The names of Kuderemetova and Karatsev are not on the Olympics invite list or on the ITF list. Russian media write about their exclusion.

The scandal is that Khachanov was allowed to take part in the Olympics after post Saint George Cross on Instagram (included on Olympic’s list of prohibited symbols (next to Z sign). Potapova did the same - a provocation with a Spartak Moscow T-shirt a year ago and she was allowed

However, Khachanov and Potapova will not play in Paris, but only because they refused! Just like Kasatkina and Rublev, both anti-war. Andreeva (although Ukrainian Yastremska claims that she liked pro-Putin posts on IG) and Shnaider will perform at the Olympics

We already know the lists of tennis players for the Olympics. The decision regarding the Russians was made by the International Tennis Federation and the Olympic. The singles: Danil Medvedev, Roman Safiullin, Pavel Kotov, Ekaterina Alexandrova, Mirra Andrejewa and Diana Shnaider

Russian Tennis Association submitted names and then the IOC and ITF accepted or not. And so Karatsev and Kudermetova were eliminated. Although the head of the Russian Association believes that it is the fault of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs

[ponchi101]

I always boycott the Olympics, but this year, will be more so. Allowing Russia to compete is sickening.
(yeah, neutral athletes my ***)
