Mens Singles Seedings
65 players qualified to take part in the 2020 Olympic Games Mens Singles Event and here are the seedings
By Martin Hughes
Owner and Editor
The seedings have been announced for the 65 players who qualified to take part in the 2020 Olympic Games Men's Singles Event.
The seedings were based on the players positions in the world ranking list issued for June 2021.
The men's singles took place from 24-31 July 2021 at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium.
China were the favourites to take the Gold and Silver medals, but can no longer take all three medals as they did in Beijing in 2008 due to a change in the rules which allows only two players per NOC in the singles event.
