Absolutely, the olympics are massive for an athletes calendar.

Why is Nadal and Djokovic bothering to play then?

Because they really want at least a medal and especially a Gold.

Already Nadal/Alcaraz have their first win and Nadal playes soon today against
Fucsovics. Alcaraz is already through his first round as is Djokovic.

Very busy day in the mens tournament.

Gold Medal win in Olympics is surely a big honour for any sportsperson because this is historic achievement for countries and players we have many countries which fail to bring anything in decades, and they are feeling shame about this, but few are fighting hard for this as well. Few minutes back we have hard fought for the Rafael Nadal which took 150 minutes to beat his Hungarian opponent in three sets.

We have few big names those have wins into their games and few are waiting for their games as coming in next few minutes in WTA we have upset as N Osaka lost to her German opponent Anglena Kerber and Gauff is waiting for her match which is going to start in few minutes.

We are going to have actions packed days here in Paris with most of the top-ranking players are giving their best for having top honour in these games.

I think that Nadal and Djokovic at this point of their career could focus also in other competitions since they have no more the same chances in atp500 or slams.
Its not wrong at all. They choose were to invest their energy no One should be force to play Olympics.

I don't think it's just tonsillitis, let's say that the Olympic tournament matters very little at an international level and above all at the ATP ranking level it matters absolutely nothing so he will have invented an excuse for not participating and rightly staying on holiday since he has important matches to play ahead of him resting will certainly be good for him and will make him stronger when he returns

Lol
What the hell are you saying? Fortunately, in any case, that's what you say, since any athlete who thinks like that is a complete idiot. ; l )

Do you have any idea what Olympic sport means? I don't think so.

By the way, it's a delight to see two greats, Alcaraz and Nadal playing together for their country.

The "Sinner drama" continues to keep the newspapers busy at least here in Italy...
I must say, as usually the argument has been managed in a very critical way with even interviews with the president of the Italian Olympic Committee who rightly "lowers" the controversy...
But as a famous swimmer says (F. Pellegrini note - how much people are talking about it and everyone is saying what they think) for a tennis player "the Olympics are not the best showcase, they have the slams!"

Well, such discussions arise each time with many many sports... They are professionals and they need to prioritize their activities, much of these discussions are pretty useless ...

There will always be those that expect every sportsman to live just for a chance to represent his country. That isn't always the case but I don't know enough about Sinner and his connections to Italian tennis organization to speculate on it.

Olympic tournament actually has quite a big standing among the tennis players and I would place it just behind Grand Slams and before ATP 1000 tournaments. So most of the top players will always be here. There were cases of players playing Davis cup in Olympic years just so they can come here even though they don't like playing for their countries.

Much probably this was just an excuse to not go there and Sinner decide to "ride" the chance.
however I don't think that tournament will really miss him, it's pretty common in Olympics that famous players decide to not go...

By the way it's pretty boring the process here in Italy with many many mass media that are discussing and critizicing Sinner choice... these are personal decisions connected to many factors. Speculation is pretty boring...

Yup, true. That's why all the best players in the world are there, because it's really not a big deal.
I'm sure most of them would rather be playing the Umag 250 right now, but they weren't invited.

News from Italy since Sinner can't go to Paris and Olympics games due a bad flu (they said no covid related).
Meanwhile double team from Spain (Alcaraz - Nadal) is already there... Roll Eyes

Let's see how much "priority" they will give to this tournament....

we know that the Olympics count for little and Sinner rightly preferred to conserve his energy for more important tournaments where the score for the ranking is at stake, tennis in the Olympics is like football, it doesn't count for anything so he will rest and play the next one tournament in force

Having participation in Olympics is also dreamed of every sport's person for his country Sinner is going to Paris for his chance of winning gold medal for his country because this is coming after every four years, so things are surely important with his departure from Italy is delay due to fever, but officially he will go and also play in these games.

Alcaraz and Nadal are also going for the glory with this is last chance for Nadal to have some good for his country and bring another gold medal which will make things more exciting for this legendary player who is facing many issues due to his injuries and health in last few years but good thing he is still determined to participate in these games for his country and having medal as well.

Sinner has confirmed that HE IS NOT going to the olympics, he has tonsillitis and
his doctors have advised him to rest.

The Tennis competition starts on the 27 already with the mens singles. I dont see
who is starting in that date though.

Alcaraz for Gold anyone?

As I understand it, for now he just postponed his trip.
The tournament starts in 3 days, I'm sure he'll go eventually.

You don't miss the Olympics because of a flu, no matter how serious it is. His first few matches will be easy anyway.

I think this problem comes from Sinner's health problem. But I don't think he wants to spend his energy on more important tournaments. Once again, Italians are worried that there will be no Sinner at the Olympics. In Tokyo in 2021, Sinner did not attend. Anyway, in this tournament he plays the role of number 1 seed. This is an important loss. As the No. 1 ATP player at present, it is not surprising that Sinner is the golden hope of the Italian sports team. He, along with Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic, are considered players capable of conquering the gold medal in men's singles tennis at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Yes, I can't wait for Rafael Nadal to partner Carlos Alcaraz in the men's doubles tennis event at the 2024 Paris Olympics and I expect a classy performance.

I agree but its too early for Djokovic to retire, he has at least a good season ahead
for 2025. For Nadal OI would say he will make a decision on whether to retire
or go another season at the end of this year.

https://www.bbc.com/sport/tennis/articles/czq670864w6o

Andy Murray has made a decision to retire after the olympics.

Probably too early for Djokovic, I agree, but the level on which Alcaraz dominated Djokovic in Wimbledon was quite shocking. Djokovic was without any chance whatsoever. I think I can't recall ever having seen a game like that by Djokovic. If it wasn't for Alcaraz losing his nerves for a few minutes in the third set, that game would have ended without any thrill at all. Seeing a player like Djokovic not finding any solutions at any point in time during the game is quite telling in my opinion. Sure he can have a bad day, but this wasn't just looking like Djokovic being out of shape. It was more like Alcaraz being many levels above him.

If I remember correctly, Nadal already said that this is 99% his last season.

I never understood why Murray kept going given that he had a severely injured hip. He has won enough, nothing to prove anymore and then willing to risk his health foe what? I think it's tough to say goodbye to that part of life when you are a professional sports player. But still, it is not like there was still something to prove for him.

Yea too early for Djokovic but there will be opportunities to bet against him.
The Wimbledon final was indeed a bit surreal, the result was a combination of
Alcaraz being so strong and Djokovic having Zero answers to come up with.

Ah Murray, can understand why he bothered coming back after the hip operation.
He had nothing to prove, didnt need the money. It became a bit pathetic in the end.

Same argument for any of the older players:
Djokovic, nothing to prove other than trying to create a new record in something.
Nadal, is calling a day and should do after this season
Thiem, the same, this is his last season
Wawrinka, should make a decision, he is not the same player anymore.

there will be a long rehabilitation process that he will have to do to get back to competing like he used to, obviously reaching the big names in the rankings will be very hard if not impossible but in my opinion he could really be able to stay in the top 10 let's remember that he challenged and lost winbledon only because of Novak Djokovic can therefore easily be there in the lead competing with the greats

I really don't see Nadal reaching the top 10 frankly speaking since he has been on the sidelines for so long and his last big title was way back in 2022. He could win some big games here and there, but reaching the top 10 seems out of reach for him.

On the other hand, Djokovic could win one or more slams in the future as long as his body continues siding with him somehow.

I agree about Nadal, he isnt getting back into the top 10, there are simply too many
players in the top 20 who are capable of beating him any day. I would argue that the
reason he even git to the final of Bastad was there were a lot of top 10 players not
playing this week because of the Olympics.

Regarding Djokovic, I cant see him winning another GS, not if Sinner or Alcaraz are
in the mix.

I was really disappointed with the way we have lost for the Nadal and look like things are now having big turn, and we will have no fightback at the top level for this legend player because his body is not favouring him for having big wins against quality players which is surely sad news for his fans.

Same happen to Djokovic, and I am feeling now it's time for them to take rest and ruled out their return to top level because they are having long successful history of many wins in this play, but now new generation players are taking over and having good chance of staying at the top.

Alcaraz, Sinner, Zverev and Medvedev are ready for next era of tennis, but now we will have no longest history of success like we have in from last big threes because these are not able to bring consistency like them but still it is good we are having things at the top.
