The ITF has published the Qualification System for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Tennis Event.
The 2020 Olympic Tennis Event will once again feature five disciplines: men’s singles and doubles, women’s singles and doubles, and mixed doubles.
Each singles draw will comprise 64 players, with a maximum of four players per nation.
There will be 56 direct acceptances as at previous Games, and eight ITF places, including six Continental Qualification places.
For the first time in Olympic history, players will have a chance to earn a place at the Olympic Tennis Event through success at one of the regional multi-sport games, including the 2018 Asian Games and 2019 African and Pan American Games.
In addition, one place will be awarded to the highest ranked man and woman in both Europe and Oceania from a country not yet represented in singles.
The dates of the Olympic Tennis Event will be announced in due course.
