What happened to the Olympic Ideals?

The Olympic motto may be faster, higher, stronger but the Games are as much about bringing people together as they are about breaking records. Some of the best moments from previous Olympics have been watching competitors from some of the more unheralded countries giving their all, no matter how far off the pace they might be.

Making the team in the first place is a big enough effort and something those who are successful feel rightly proud of. But it seems that tennis, at least for some nations, is proving to be more of a bone of contention than a golden quest.
