Tennis players are individuals, not one-man countries

I acknowledge the reality of people having to "come from" somewhere, but I tend to see the players (in slams at least) as individuals rather than representatives of a certain country, so to me the under-representation of a nation in the 3rd round of the men's is just, well, one of those things. More shocking to me was the early exit of the likes of Rafa, Roger etc in the previous tournament of what turned out to be one of those peculiar Wimbledons that happens from time to time.
