We already knew that tennis in Olympic Games not as attractive as the Grand Slams, we also knew that we would have numerous casualties in both tables, both male and female. But with only four days left for the draw, it is time to talk about those who will be in the Olympic event, specifically, those who will be seeded. We go first with the 16 men who will start with that certain advantage from Thursday.
MALE FRAME
- Novak Djokovic
- Daniil Medvedev
- Stefanos Tsitsipas
- Alexander Zverev
- Andrey Rublev
- Pablo Carreño
- Hubert Hurkacz
- Diego Schwartzman
- Felix-Auger Aliassime
- Gael Monfils
- Aslan Karatsev
- Karen Khachanov
- Lorenzo Sonego
- Ugo Humbert
- Nikoloz Basilashvili
- Fabio Fognini
Names like Pablo Carreño or Hubert Hurkacz have taken a step forward in this ranking thanks to the multiple absences within the top10. Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Juan Martín Del Potro, Stan Wawrinka, Dominic Thiem, Matteo Berrettini and Denis Shapovalov will be missed, although the losses of these players is what has opened the door for new candidates to enter the surprise.
Let’s go with him now female box, where luckily there are not so many absences. In fact, the majority of the top 10 will be present in Tokyo, seeking to fulfill that dream of hanging the Olympic medal. We will have the two best rackets in the world in the fight, one that comes mounted on a cloud, loaded with victories, while the other has long since left the circuit to recover from its mental problems.
FEMALE PICTURE
- Ashleigh Barty
- Naomi Osaka
- Aryna Sabalenka
- Elina Svitolina
- Karolina Pliskova
- Iga Swiatek
- Garbiñe Muguruza
- Barbora Krejcikova
- Belinda Bencic
- Petra Kvitova
- Jennifer Brady
- Elise Mertens
- Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova
- Maria Sakkari
- Elena Rybakina
- Kiki Bertens
We will therefore have a Spanish, Garbiñe Muguruza, among one of the favorites to win, although she will be surrounded by a long list of players who could perfectly be candidates for everything. Be very careful especially with Krejcikova, who seems to have more gasoline than any. Those who will not be Serena Williams, Simona Halep, Sofia Kenin, Bianca Andreescu, Victoria Azarenka and Angelique Kerber, among others. Considering what has been seen, who do you think has more options to climb to the top of the podium?
