So…by the Rules, Nadal is not allowed…

[dr325i]

Your point is tired and played out and a waste of time. The host country has wild cards to award. Next time save your energy and do a simple Google search.

No it does not for the Olympics. There are rules. Try to understand the Google search (and the point of this thread…let me help you…will Nadal blab about rules this time?)

 

[MichaelNadal]

when was the last time he smiled like that at Novak outside RG? Ah, yes, when MN was in High school

Recent enough to keep this conversation at a constant back and forth

The final two spots are reserved, one for the host nation and one for a previous Olympic gold medalist or Grand Slam champion who didn't secure a direct entry.[3]

Perfect ending for his career. Double gold medalist on Chatrier, beating boreovic again

They're so giddy over the thought that he'll be locked out. Hitman made the same mistake before he was educated some time ago iirc lol

That will always be there since he is one of the best ever. Recent…10 years ago…hmmm

Injurdal will be healed in time for this contest

Again, you forgot a few other details like NOT applicable if Spain already has 4 contenders or more as direct entry…

[dr325i]

Of course, it is on clay
But again, the point is about rules, not about injuries and other…

 

[dr325i]

Pressed…no. Excited, yes. Tennis without Rafa is missing something.
It would be a blowout (just like last time they met) outside clay.
It could be interesting on clay

 

[weakera]

The final slots are without such qualifications lol

I know you're praying he's locked out but don't worry too hard about it

Yes, i pray every day that Rafa does not come back LOL. He is dangerous at 37! New thong at that age is something special

You realize they even have an appeal process too? It's kind of embarrassing how little you seem to know about this

…To play at the Olympic Games in Paris in 2024.

The rule states that the participant had to play Davis cup for the country he represents at the OG at least once within last two years prior to the event.

Rafa did not and Spain is eliminated from Davis Cup for this season.

As Rafa always said - rules must be respected and followed.

Will they, though?

And why do you and your cronies keep complaining about the correct disqualification of your idol at the 2020 US Open and the rules that the US government put in place for foreign citizens to enter its soil in 2022 and parts of 2023?

 

[DSH]

Everyone knows the host country will give him a spot if he's healthy to play, why does this topic keep coming up? Scared Djokovic fans hoping?

Ruud will beat peak Djokovic at the Paris 2024 Olympic games.

 

[DSH]

Rafa Nole final would be epic
Most watched tennis match probably

Nadal's topspin will destroy everyone in the Parisian summer.

 

[DSH]

Nadal has the gold but this thread has less value than the promises of a politician on an electoral campaign.

 

[Sudacafan]

Rafa already has OG. Why is this relevant?

 

[octobrina10]

He has 2 OGs.

Can you please show me one instance where i complained about 2020 DQ and Covid rules. Thanks


PS: here is an example to show how much crap you spew around here: https://tt.tennis-warehouse.com/ind...y-big-3-due-to-injuries.758115/#post-17675262

 

[guilhermefdc]

I’m sorry, but Nadal fits nearly every criteria for eligibility, including basically everything on the paragraph describing situations in which he can play despite not competing at a recent Davis Cup:

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 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 Billie Jean King Cup Competition: A player only reaches a ranking
level sufficient for Davis Cup or Billie Jean King 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 player’s opportunities to participate in
Davis Cup or Billie Jean King Cup Competition.
- 2 -
d) Commitment to and Achievement at the Olympic Tennis Event and/or Davis Cup or Billie
Jean King Cup: A player’s historical participation and/or achievements in one or both
competitions.

[ImmorTAL Big 3]

Actually they are.In my previous post i ve write that there are 2 requirements even for GS/OG champion
-be at Top 400
-His country quota has not already been filled

he still has time to apply for finnish citizenship...

[Sudacafan]

He has 2 OGs.

I didn't say 1 OG.
I said OG without numbers. I am not cheating any readers.

 

[Underdog]

Does that include all other players or just Nadal?

Don’t fool yourself into believing any of the Big 3 is just like any other player. You sure know they ain’t

 

[TripleATeam]

There are exemptions made for particularly successful athletes, as there should be. The Olympics would be a worse event without Nadal there, if he's healthy enough to play. Particularly if it's happening on clay.

 

[Phoenix*]

No Olympics for Pigeon! Karma for AO.

 

[MichaelNadal]

No Olympics for Pigeon! Karma for AO.

 

[Subway Tennis]

The biggest barrier from Rafa playing the Olympics will be how his body will feel. If he is fit, he will play, 1000%.

Someone must be fairly naive or disconnected from ITF policies to suggest there needs to be legal wrangling required for him to play.

As it stands, he has two avenues for entry:

1. Playing for Spain in Davis Cup early next year

2. Securing entry reserved for Olympic or Grand Slam singles champions who don’t meet other criteria under ITF policy. Given that Nadal is a major winner (won a few of those) and Olympics singles gold medallist, it’s fairly likely that he gets in that way rather than playing DC next year.

If Nadal isn't top-400 by then, he's finished and isn't playing
Spain is extremely unlikely to be filled
AND there is still an appeals process to boot, if Nadal needed to go that route, he would get a same-day wildcard from the ITF/France

Such a dumb conversation lol

 

[Enceladus]

If we’re in a position where Rafael Nadal isn’t allowed to play the Olympics at Roland Garros, then the problem is with the system, not Nadal.

The same goes for Djokovic at AO 2022. The system prevented him from participating.

Yes, incredibly dumb. 325's hate for Nadal prevented him from reading the rules before posting.

 

[octobrina10]

It was Djoko's own voluntary choice not to meet the country's entry requirements for travellers from foreign countries.

 

[Deleted member 758560]

yea thats why he jumped on a plane suddenly simply just decided to take a look at australian beautiful landscapes coz he was missin it so much back then

 

[Enceladus]

Covid mandate was an unfair draconian requirement, distorting the openness of tennis competition. In addition, the then government in Australia abused Nole to gain political points before the election.

 

[octobrina10]

Djoko chose not to meet the country's entry requirements, he tried to outmaneuver the requirements. He was caught by the country's border force.

Factually true

Yes, but they were also the rules. A ****load of countries have weird requirements for visitors, but everyone must follow them

 

[SeeItHitIt]

Wha difference does it make, at this point?

Tennis is NOT an Olympic sport. The shark has jumped so many times that nobody pays attention (either way). One thing is assured, if there are rules to be bent, it’ll be for Mr. TUE.

You are barking up the wrong tree.

 

[The Blond Blur]

There are 2 vacanted places for former GS/Olympics champions so not see a problem.I am sure he will play if he is healthy and hope he does.Olympics at RG without Nadal will be far less interesting and entertaining. So if he is healthy he will play.

Well there you go, and just like that this troll thread was DOA
