It's a bigger deal for those sports, for many golfers/tennis players the reward simply doesn't outweigh the risk.How come none of the track and field athletes, swimmers etc. are pulling out because of the Zika virus?

i bet it has nothing to do with the fact that the Toronto Masters are roughly the same time.
i wish athletes would stop using this cop out excuse.
Haelp is out of Rio as well for the same reason. (Zika, not Toronto)

Also according to our media, because Raonic has withdrawn, Jordan Thompson has had a last-minute call-up to be the 3rd Aussie in the Mens Singles.
However, I've seen no mention of this on Thompson's twitter feed or that of Tennis Australia's. So maybe we'll hold on that until we get further confirmation.

I was surprised to hear Hewitt pulled out he was very keen to play at the Olympics. A few top players are now dropping out from the Olympics, I think being close to Toronto and US Open most are focused on those tournaments.

Hewitt was never in the team anyway Does this mean he is not going in his coach/manager capacity?
Edit: Have now read the article in full. Yes it relates to his role as coach.

All the stuff above re Hewitt pulling out of the Olympic games etc. has been confirmed, heard Wally Masur interviewed about it on the radio this morning, Mark Draper will be the coach. He also mentioned that Kokkinakis is still under an injury cloud and struggling to get fit in time. Thompson has been added to the team as he now gets in on ranking.

Great day for Croatia with old-man Karlovic winning in Newport and their Davis Cup Team coming back from 0-2 to win the tie 3-2 against USA after Cilic/Dodig beat Brian/Brian in the doubles and then in the reverse singles Cilic and Coric beat Isner and Sock respectively.

Bryan brothers are just about finished you'd think. Bit strange for me to think about men's doubles without them to be honest.

As the leading mens doubles players? Sure, but I'll think they'll be around for a few more years. They were were this year's French Open finalists and winners @ Monte Carlo. Currently #6 in the world.

Yep they are definitely owed gratitude in more ways than one.

Struggling to think of the slovak team. Klizan and Lacko? Klizan dangerous player on clay and hard to an extent but at home they will no doubt choose cow paddock grass.
First good draw in a while.

You can actually vote for what surface you want on the TA Twitter account.

I voted for hard court but I agree it will be on grass. Just sick of it being on grass to suit players like Sam 'I can't win a match' Groth and Tomic the tank engine, and guys like Millman being ruled out because he is supposedly no good on grass.
After the last debacle I wouldn't be surprised if neither of them end up playing. Hopefully Kokkinakis might be available by then too.
