I'd be totally fine if the majors gave the big 3 wild cards forever. I'd much rather watch a say 56 year old Federer than some of the players who get wild cards today. I actually think with his style he'd still be effective.

Roger Federer is withdrawing from the Australian Open while he continues preparing to return to action after two operations on his right knee, his agent told The Associated Press on Sunday.
Tony Godsick — Federer’s long-time representative and CEO of their management company, TEAM8 — said he is working on putting together a 2021 tennis calendar for the 20-time Grand Slam champion, who plans to get back on tour soon after the year’s first major tennis tournament.
“Roger has decided not to play the 2021 Australian Open. He has made strong progress in the last couple of months with his knee and his fitness. However, after consultation with his team, he decided that the best decision for him in the long run is to return to competitive tennis after the Australian Open,” Godsick said in a statement released to the AP.
That's awesome Canada qualified! Greece #5 when they have only one player in the top like 500 is kinda weird but those are the rules and Tsitsipas is a great player. How is Japan qualified?

That's a darn good question. Japan is in and the States are out, yet if they are basing it on rankings, you'd think it would be the opposite.

It's based on the ranking of the top player only. Nishikori has a protected ranking of #10.
Shapovalov is #12 so he gets Canada in due to the withdrawl of Federer.
US is actually nowhere close. Next players in line to bring their country in are 15 Goffin (Belgium), 18 Wawrinka (Suisse), 19 Dimitrov (Bulgaria), 22 Garin (Chile) then 25 Isner (US)
