Murray with PR.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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