I think they are awarded to players from countries who won't have many people competiting in the Olympics.

Our tripartite friends both have 65 ranking points, basically Futures players and are ranked 445th and 443rd respectively.

I'd worked out Togo, but was googling for ESA and all I got initially was European Space Agency, but it's evidently El Salvador   smile

In most individual olympic sports, there are WC places for people who don't achieve qualifying standard from developing countries in that sport.

See 50m free style in swimming (eric the eel), 100m first round heats (once including a shot putter from American Samoa...), and our very own Eddie the Eagle (when it comes to ski jumping, we are a developing nation!).

Final entry list is now available...

Llodra replaces Tsonga
Calleri replaces Chela
Guccione replaces Koubek
Melzer replaces Haase
Vanek replaces Baghdatis
Schuettler replaces Sela
Dancevic replaces Gremelmayr
Niemeyer replaces Ancic

If anyone else withdraws now, they are replaced on an on-site alternate... which I think goes by singles ranking of those in the doubles draw.... which would be Zeng, Yu, Mullings, and then a random draw as everyone else who could play has no ranking.... technically Jamie Murray could be 4th alternate for the Olympic games.

Thread title changed to reflect the fact that this event is run by the ITF and not the ATP.

Sorry for being so pedantic in advance.

I have updated the first post. I don't quite understand the difference between the two who are marked in as ALT and the others on the first alternate list as IN, but both sites I checked showing the entry list have it exactly the same.shrug.gif

Llodra and Calleri would have made the cut if it wasn't for thr 4 players per country rule, so by replacing someone from their own country who withdrew, they are slightly different alternates to Guccione and co who are replacing someone who withdrew and didn't have someone ranked high enough from thier own country to replace them.

With 33 of the top 42 ( on the original list ) still standing, there is the potential for a couple of quite tricky rounds even before the last 16, as well as the possibility of a much easier draw.

Does anyone know when the draw is made ?

Kohlschrieber is apparantly out as well with an injury, so I think it means Zeng will replace him as an alternate.

There are 3 or 4 dream first round draws (although I'd love to see Loglo vs. Arevalo in round 1), but some nasty draws as well which you want to avoid in the first round (and I'd say Hewitt would be the worst, given how he performs for his country... and for the same reason that if Nalbandian is fit, then he'll win the event, but I'm not sure he is 100%)

Draws are made some point tomorrow, so should be out by lunchtime accounting for the time difference.

Are they seeded in the Olympics or is it luck of the draw?

Singles is done by rankings, so it will be this weeks.

1 - Federer
2 - Nadal
3 - Djokovic
4 - Davydenko
5 - Ferrer
6 - Murray
7 - Nalbandian
8 - Blake
9 - Wawrinka
10 - Simon
11 - Almagro
12 - Gonzalez
13 - Youzhny
14 - Karlovic
15 - Kiefer
16 - Stepanek

Doubles is at the discretion of the ITF, but based on the rankings, so anyone could end up seeded, although I'd expect Bryan's and Erlich/Ram to be the top seeds.

I'd guess at Bryan Brothers, Erlich/Ram, Paes/Bhupathi, Nestor/Niemeyer, Zimonjic/Djokovic, Knowles/Mullings, Vizner/Damm and Clement/Llodra as being the seeds, but that's just a guess

I caught a snippit on the news that anyone displaying a flag of a country not participating in the Olympics would be ejected, they added "such as England or Scotland" - So Andy, watch out, you have been warned!

I did a web search and found this - The back of the Beijing tickets contain fine print stating that Chinese laws and regulations prohibit you from carrying certain articles to the Venue.You should not carry flags of countries or regions not participating in the Games.


also found - in 1996 -  a Taiwanese student spectator unfurled the flag of the Republic of China and was ejected by Atlanta police. ...This was possible under American law because the back of the admission ticket contained fine print prohibiting, among other things flags other than those of participating countries, and giving the Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games the authority to eject any Spectator who fails to comply with these rules.
