We have a few Olympic posts dotted around so I thought Id put a thread up - nearer the time, no doubt, individual threads will appear for the different events in the mens and womens section. 

Here is a decent and relatively simple overview of how the complicated qualification rules work.

so, in singles, each country can have a max of 4 players who qualify. In turn, each country can have a max of 6 players total, their singles players plus others who might qualify in doubles up to that max. Think Im right so far ?

for Britain the current singles situation is that we would have 4 players who could qualify - Cam is a slam dunk, Jack would be certain I think as well; on current rankings, Dan and Andy would qualify. Dan could lose points and places though over the next few months (cut off is mid June) so needs to step up and Andy could lose points and places due to his injury, putting aside whether he is fit. Andy could also get in via an effective wild card as a past champion and multiple slam winner So for the men it feels to me that 2 are likely in and 2 could get in but its touch and go. 

on the womens side, Katie would be a cert. Harriet seems to be on the cusp, and could do with picking up some places. Others have mentioned Emma could use her PR and could also possibly get a past slam winner wild card, but there is competition for that and Im not sure if her PR level would be good enough? So 1 is most certainly in and 2 have a shot?

in mens doubles, we could add 2 players to the 4 who might qualify? what Im not clear on and someone like Lambda or Vicman can no doubt advise, if we get 3 singles players in say, can we introduce a 3rd doubles player to make 6, if ranked highly enough eg Jamie or Lloyd? anyway, assuming we have 4 singles players, Joe and Neal would be our doubles players - as they are top 10 ranked , theyd get to pick their own partners, although Id reckon Neals top 10 status is in the edge and Joe isnt certain, so both need good clay seasons. Given the limit of 6, Joe and Neal would need to pick from the 4 singles players and it would seem to me Joe would pick Andy (if fit) and Neal would pick Dan. If Andy or Dan fail to get into singles, can they be picked by Joe and Neal for doubles ( again a question for clarification!). whatefer the pairings, we seem limited to 2 pairs per country in doubles and so it will most likely be Joe and Neal plus whichever partners get picked. 

in womens doubles, Heather might be our only possible player and it would seem Heather would need to pick Katie B to get a decent chance on joint doubles and singles rankings? Is that right - any other combo seems highly unlikely? 

and mixed is made up onsite of those already there - if we have the 6 men and 3 women present, the best combo singles and doubles ranked players would stand a chance of getting in? Maybe Joe, Neal or Andy with one of Heather or Harriet? 

im sure lots of this is wrong so please put me right where I have got it wrong! Thanks!
