Indian tennis players questioned the lack of information about the Olympic cut-off list

New Delhi: Not sure of their participation at the Tokyo Olympics, Indian tennis players are “confused” about the criteria that have been adopted to complete entries because the rank below they have confirmed participation but they still do not know what the actual sign-off is for the game.
Rohan Bopanna and Diviz Sharan with a combined ranking 113 cannot cut when 14 June ranks are considered for entries but because of withdrawal, vacant places have been offered to players who fulfill the next requirements.
Many players, who did not make the previous discount, have announced their participation even because ITF has not officially made a public cut sign.
The lack of transparency in the process is what Indian players are asked.
“The most confusing part of the player even though the entry time limit has passed for the Olympics, we do not know what is disconnected,” Bopanna told PTI from Bengaluru.
“I have asked ATP when I was in London (for Wimbledon) but unfortunately they themselves did not have a concrete answer for this,” said the 41-year-old.
Single player Prajnesh Gunneswaran said frustrating they did not have access to information about cut-off signs.
“Honestly, I don’t have a lot of ideas about the process.
But I believe that there must be an easier way to check the list like that continues to move.
We need clarification so that players can be prepared,” Hander left Chennai told by PTI.
“We shouldn’t be wondering and find out what the list and pieces are,” he is Rued.
Bopanna, only the fourth Indian player to win the grand slam title, wonders how the player with a lower combined rank was chosen in front of him and Sharan.
He refers to the Spanish team of Pablo Andujar and Roberto Carballes Baena, who has a combined 170.
“I have heard of several players who have met the requirements of their country but the combined rating is far below the rating of Divir Sharan & itself.” It was said that the single player was said that the single player was said that It has been fulfilling the requirements of the priority of multiple players for multiple events, “he said.
The International Tennis Federation (ITF) has explained that they will give priority to single players, who are already in a single drawing, to fill places in a double lottery.” Because of us Has reached a quota in terms of the number of athletes allowed at the location, we must now prioritize a double team with at least one single player in the lottery, “an ITF official told PTI.
This is what surprised Bopanna, who said it was unfair.” Single and double really two disciplines are different from different set skills and I feel in the future this is considered to qualify.
“It seems like they say if someone goes for 100 meters, let him run at 800m too because it’s a song and field.
Or old jump if someone meets the requirements, let him make a high leap too.
It doesn’t make sense,” he said.
Recently the Czech Republic Tomas Machac announced on his Instagram page that he would compete in the Tokyo game.
Now Machac is 145 in the ATP ranking list on June 14 while Sumit Nagal India is ranked 144th on the same day but does not make wounds.
Asked about this, ITF official explained that, “Tomas Machac has received a place of ITF (final qualifying place) for players from countries in Europe has not been represented at the event.”
