would be good to short. Mr Ančić has withdrawn due to the flu.

This would also solve the debate about Rainer Schüttler, who CAS has ruled was eligible to play in the Games after his ranking had increased. Schüttler would be second alternate, but first alternate John Isner has already confirmed his entry into a tournament colliding with the Olympics, so that means he can go in. (Also means Germany have too many qualified players and so Frank Dancevic goes through.)

Don't understand why the ITF could overrule the German national olympic committee's selections in the first place. It's not like the ATP rankings are perfect, and Germany had earned the place.
