Yeah right Spain has not got a decent doubles team for the Olympics

That was a joke on Federer about Davidovich Fokina retiring. But I don't think you can actually make a great (not just "decent") doubles team out of those 3 players. In Granollers and Feli Lopez they lost 2 of their more winning doubles players. (Not to mention Rafa.) If they can take 4, I think they should take Marc Lopez...he's a great utility doubles man.

Agree with Marc Lopez he is a good doubles player just ask Rafa

Each country is allowed 6 players in total. The limit of 4 is only for singles players.

Oh, excellent! Then why not bring some youngster, and, what the hell, Tommy Robredo.

I have met Tommy Robredo in his prime,leave him alone okay

What? I wasn't kidding. He's still ranked 290...I just checked. He shows up here and there. A lot of countries could do worse. He's 39. So is Fed, and GSM wants him to go play for Switzerland. I'm in earnest to say send Tommy.

If you must.............oh wait he did defeat Federer at the USO....okay I give him my permission to go

 

[Moxie]

If you must.............

I don't see why you don't like that idea. Ol' Rusty Hewitt would come out of mothballs and play for Oz. But Robredo isn't even retired. OK, you don't like it? Who would be your 5 & 6 for Spain?

Please read my post to you I have just adjusted it above.I am not a Hewitt fan period.Tommy and Rafa also have played doubles together back in the day and won tournament as well,he is soo versatile.

There's just not enough room to stay 6 feet. apart in either country; esp. their larger cities! It's tight spaces all over to squeeze into & catch C-19!

But, they still think they can run Olympics in Japan.
