Odd decision considering that a home country event with friendlier conditions is played the same week with HC 500s the weeks before and after.

Significant appearance fee maybe? Has Nadal confirmed he'll be returning? I wouldn't be at all surprised if he does something else next February and that decision would free up significant cash for Rio. Hopefully they can also convince the defending RG champion to attend.

Clownga to play an appearance in Rio. Bad news for fans there. Fortunately he will lose early.

Tsonga is the most entertaining player on tour by far. Any crowd would be lucky to watch him. If you were a true tennis fan, you would recognise this.

Tsonga playing there is as good as wasting one place. Good luck to that who gets him in the draw.

It's not odd it's called greed I guess :shrug::shrug:
