our sole medal hope--tennis draws at olympics is out!
« on: August 07, 2008, 04:58:54 PM »
First round for Hesh/ Lee against French pair of Gael Monfils/ Gilles Simon

Second round will be against the winner of the Brazilian pair of Marcelo Melo/ Andre Sa or Czech pair Tomas Berdych/ Radek Stepanek.

likely quarters show down against Federer and his teammate although Federer is not much of a doubles player.

and if we win that, we run into bryan brothers in the semis....

---------------------------

sania unfortunately plays venus in r2...so medal is unlikely
-------------------------

sania/sunita play Tatiana Golovin and Pauline Parmentier

but in r2 they run into the russian top-seeds Dinara Safina and Svetlana Kuznetsova

--------------------------

my take: most likely just a bronze unless paes/mahesh manage to beat the bryan brothers somehow

it is based on rankings from june i think, when he barely had any points and thus india doesnt have any singles players this time
