The top 15 men's singles players, the top 16 women's singles players, and the top eight men's and women's doubles pairs who satisfied the qualification criteria were invited to compete. Kazakhstan's Kirill Gerassimenko was the 16th player added to the men's singles event to ensure that the host nation was represented.[4][5][6]
