Deco Turf for Bejing Olympics

ForeverDelayed · Grand Slam Champion

How many qualifiers do we get for the Olympics?

Murray will definately make it, and as long as Jamie doesn't have a shocking start to the year, we will have a doubles team involved

I think it is done on ranking, but only 4 players max from 1 country, so that means there is a small chance that Boggo could play as well, especially if he can get towards the top 100 in the first half of next year

Then again, it may not be a bad idea to play Washington instead, especially as it is a 48 draw, and will be weak because of a lot of the players playing the Olympics. So either there will be a chance of a medal, or a chance of big ranking points in Washington

Playing in the Olympics would be great for Murray, only downside to it is that the US Open is played straight after the Olympics, so he probably have less recovery time. i think if Murray is going to play in the Olympics, then he should play doubles. i dont mind him playing singles, but the number of top players who dont play the Olympics have an advantage in not flying to China and prepare well for the USO.

also i dont like the way ranking points are taken away, i mean if Murray was to win the title, he should keep the points till the next Olympics 2012!! rather than winning 400 pts, cant they cut down the points?

Criteria a bit vague for doubles. Looks like Andy can just pick Jamie as his partner.
