Race to Tokyo 2020


As per the ladies, the mens race to gain an Olympic position is shown on ERA

https://www.openerarankings.com/Home?Race=6

 

Dan is placed 31st (but has said he probably wont play) 

Cam is just one place out at the moment, so if stays this way, and Dan didnt take a place, Cam would pick up that place instead. 

Kyle is a bit off currently, and there are several #1's who would get in ahead of him so he would need to boost his ranking.

 Given the cut off is 8th June 2020, will Andy's PR still be active (does it have an expiry?) and do the IOC/ITF/ATP take PR's into account for Tokyo ?

As a top 10 player joe will qualify and gets to select partner. Jamie has indicated he would play with neal, although not guaranteed.  Joe and andy, ? 

 

Or 2 pairs from those 4 at least.

You can qualify for the Olympics with your PR, as to whether Andy would still have one good point not sure.

If we pick 4 doubles players we can only pick 2 singles players as team is a max of 6. Of course we might only have 2 singles players qualified and wanting to play so it might not matter. Or we could decide doubles is more chance of a medal so let's pack that.

I am also a bit concerned about Joe's eligibility because of no Davis Cup.

Do you have to play a tie or just make yourself available?

Well that's the thing, how do you prove you were available. There are rules around where if there are players ranked ahead of you but I think Neal was behind him for the finals. I know common sense would be Neal & Jamie are a regular pair and that's why they were picked but based on the strict application of the rules, I'm not sure.

If the rules prevented Joe from participating then the rules would be not fit for purpose.

What I do hope is that our potential mixed doubles pairs have plans to ferociously practice together to try to be all they can be in the white-hot competitive atmosphere of Olympic Mixed Doubles.

Bah

 Maybe when the put the teams together its assumed they'd say yes and be available unless they actually say no. So say Jack draper came through and won the French from qualies, and got a ranking high enough by June 8th, he clearly would never have been picked for davis cup prior to that date, so they'd have to assume hed have said yes and been available to be picked if asked?

Actually he should be OK going by the actual rules - should have probably just looked at them to begin with, sorry

The player must have fulfilled the minimum participation requirement in the ITF Davis Cup or 

ITF Fed Cup Competitions during the Olympic Cycle, by being either:

a) part of the final nominated Davis Cup or Fed Cup team at the time of the draw and 

present at the tie on a minimum of three (3) occasions during the Olympic Cycle, 

provided that one of those occasions is in either 2019 or 2020; or 

b) part of the final nominated Davis Cup or Fed Cup team at the time of the draw and 

present at the tie on a minimum of two (2) occasions during the Olympic Cycle, 

provided that one of those occasions is in either 2019 or 2020, if the player falls within 

either of the following categories:

(I) Length of Service: The player has reached the milestone of 20 weeks in their Davis 

Cup or Fed Cup career, with each home and away tie and each round-robin event 

counting as a single week; or

(II) Zone Group Round Robin Event: A player whose National Association competes 

for four (4) or three (3) years in the Zone Group Round Robin format with the 

remaining year/s in the home and away format.

2) Where the player has not met the minimum participation requirement set out at paragraph 

v) above, the relevant decision-maker (the Panel) as specified in the Regulations for the 

Olympic Tennis Event (to be published by 2019) may exercise its discretion to rule that a player 

who satisfies all other eligibility criteria is considered eligible for nomination for and 

participation in the Olympic Tennis Event when taking into consideration special 

circumstances including, but not limited to, the following:

a) Injury/Illness: The injury or illness must be evidenced through authorised medical records, 

clearly identifying the period of absence from all competitive tennis.

b) Newcomer to Davis Cup or Fed Cup Competition: A player only reaches a ranking level 

sufficient for Davis Cup or Fed Cup selection by his/her National Association during the latter 

part of the Olympic Cycle.

c) Strength of Nation: A National Association has a large number of highly-ranked players 

resulting in competition for selection, which limits a players opportunities to participate in 

Davis Cup or Fed Cup Competition.

d) Commitment to the Olympic Tennis Event and/or Davis Cup or Fed Cup: A players historical 

participation in one or both competitions.

For the purpose of these rules, Olympic Cycle means the period commencing on Monday 15 August 

2016, being the day following the day of the conclusion of the Rio 2016 Olympic Tennis Event, and 

ending on 8 June 2020, being the ranking date for entries to the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Tennis Event.
