1. Pursuant to the ITF Qualification System (Attachment A) and all updates since June 2020 as provided by or posted by the ITF, during the week of on June 16, 2021 June 10, 2021 June 11, 2020 the ITF will extend an invitation to the USTA for those players (male and female) who, as of June 14, 2021 June 7, 2021 June 18, 2020, are ranked in the top 56 according to the ATP/WTA rankings (including utilization of protected rankings, if applicable). These players qualify for selection by their National Olympic Committees ("NOCs"). Tied rankings, if applicable, will be determined by the ITF who utilize the singles and doubles computer rankings systems adopted by the Board.

If the United States has 4 or fewer players who qualify for selection per gender (i.e., receive invitations from the ITF the week of on June 16, 2021 June 10, 2021 June 11, 2020), the USTA will nominate each of those players who have qualified. If the United States has more than 4 players qualify for selection per gender (i.e., receive invitations from the ITF the week of on June 16, 2021 June 10, 2021 June 11, 2020), the USTA will nominate the top 4 players from that pool based on their June 14, 2021 June 7, 2021 June 8, 2020 ranking in the ATP/WTA rankings. Tied rankings, if applicable, will be determined by the ITF who utilize the singles and doubles computer rankings systems adopted by the Grand Slam Board.

Additionally, if players ranked in the top 56 according to the ATP/WTA rankings (including utilization of protected rankings, if applicable), are not nominated by their respective NOCs by June 22 17, 2021 June 18, 2020, or if the top 56 is extended due to NOCs exceeding their maximum of 4 singles allocations within the top 56, or if a nominated player becomes unable to participate prior to a date certain as determined by the ITF to the next highest ranked player. In such a case, if the U.S. has a player who receives, or players who receive, an invitation from the ITF based on the reallocation process, and the USTA has nominated less than 4 singles players, the USTA will nominate the reallocated player or players to the U.S. Olympic Tennis Team so as to bring its team size to the maximum 4 singles players per gender provided that such nomination does not exceed the maximum team size of six (6) players per gender.

Finally, the ITF may issue invitations for six (6) final qualification places to NOCs who have not reached their maximum team size of four (4) singles players based on four factors (set forth in the ITF Qualification System (Attachment A)). In such a case, if the U.S. has a player who receives/or players who receive an invitation from the ITF as part of this process, the USTA will nominate that player /those players to the U.S. Olympic Tennis Team so as to bring its team size to the maximum four (4) players provided that such nomination does not exceed the maximum team size of six (6) players per gender.

After making their appraisal, the respective men's coach and women's coach shall make a recommendation to the USTA Olympic Selection Oversight Committee (as defined in see Section 2.3) as to the number of doubles players to be nominated to the U.S. Olympic Team.

No later than June 22 17, 2021 June 18, 2020 each NOC, including the USOPC, shall confirm to the ITF the names of those doubles players, if any, who will participate in the Olympic Games.
