Re: Arantxa Rus
I think the NOC has additional requirements. Should have been top56 at the deadline, but she wasn't.

Re: Arantxa Rus
I don't understand why national committees set addittional requirements 
Money issue?

Re: Arantxa Rus
I don't get why the national committees don't support the players of their own country more when it comes to the OG.
It looks stupid. What's the point of additional requirements?

All of this!
I agree, this is 
So stupid to come up with extra rules. A player qualifies or not (and in Aran's case as a 1st ALT) Same for Sofia's case 
A country should be proud of their athletes.
Guess they think she is no fave to win a medal. Which obviously is true, but just going there is such a big moment/chance for the athletes. National commitees are probably a bunch of men in suits who didn't have the talent to become a pro athlete or never play/played sports in their life and now just making up rules in their office

And to tell you the truth, I think she has a chance for a 3rd Round or QF with a good draw

Re: Arantxa Rus
They just saving money. That's why Sofia will watch OG on TV. I have a lot to say about this laughable issues with money spent on sports but it neither changes anything nor gives a relief. "People are strange."

Arantxa Rus
Anett+Them Eesti Gals have to be the best players that ever existed
Kaia hit 24 Aces (the WTA record) vs Safarova Tokyo Round 1 2008 
Stripping Sam Stosur of her serve is like stripping a paedophile of his children: They become useless
