[QUOTE="Bada-Bing!, post: 810942, member: 70552"] If the prize is Olympic Gold, then Federer has already won one in the Doubles in 2008. Players play both singles, doubles to win a medal at the Olympics. On the men's side the top players, in today's game now would never play doubles, if they are in contention to win the singles in the Grand Slams I.e. They give up playing the doubles to give them the best chance to win the singles. For me the Pinnacle is the very top, the highest honour in the sport I.e. The Apex. The Olympics clearly are for track and field, Swimming, table tennis. It is just not the case for tennis otherwise it would A) be played in Grand Slam format over 2 weeks b) would hold ranking points ( the last Olympics tennis did, but not this one). The four Grand Slams are the pinnacle for tennis, as the Golf Majors are for Golf. It has to be the toughest and against the very best the sport has to offer - for tennis the Grand Slams offer this.
