The International Olympic Committee (IOC) will not offer any wild cards for the tennis events at this year's Rio Olympics which means Indian players will have to qualify for main draws solely on the basis of their rankings.ITF Secretary General Juan Margets has clarified that no National Association can apply for wild cards. In a statement, Mr. Margets said, in previous Olympic Games the ITF had a degree of discretionary oversight on the allocation of Final Qualification Places, considered similar to wild cards. Now, in line with IOC requirements, this has changed for Rio 2016. While Final Qualification Places remain there, they will now allocated strictly according to the criteria outlined in the Qualification System.In a draw of 64 in the men's and women's singles competition, 56 are direct entries, six are final qualification places and two are tripartite commission invitation places.In doubles, 24 teams have direct entry and eight are final qualification places. Any doubles player ranked 10th or better will gain direct entry and have a choice of partner.Besides Sania Mirza, Rohan Bopanna, at present, is India's top-ranked doubles player at number 11 followed by Leander Paes ranked 52. Saketh Myneni at 113 and Purav Raja at 115 are next best followed by Jeevan Nedunchezhiyan on 140. Players have time till 6th of June to improve their ranking since world standings on that day will be considered for entry into the Rio Games.
