The mixed doubles tennis tournament at the 2020 Summer Olympics is scheduled to take place at the Ariake Coliseum from 28 July to 1 August 2021.[1] There will be 16 teams in the competition.[2] The draw for the tournament will be made on Tuesday 27 July.

Bethanie Mattek-Sands and Jack Sock won the title in 2016, but Sock did not qualify for the Olympic Games in Tokyo. Mattek-Sands will play with Rajeev Ram.[3]

Background

This will be the 7th (medal) appearance of the mixed doubles tennis event.

Qualification

Main article: Tennis at the 2020 Summer Olympics – Qualification

Each National Olympic Committee (NOC) can enter up to two pairs (four players). There are 16 pairs places (32 players) in the event. Qualification is based primarily on the ranking lists of 14 June 2021.[2] Mixed Doubles teams will be selected from athletes that have been accepted for the singles and/or the doubles events. 15 places are allocated to the highest ranked teams based on the combined ranking of each team. One place goes to the highest ranked nominated team from the host nation.

The entries for the competition must be made on-site by 11am local time on 27 July.[2]

Competition format

The competition is a single-elimination tournament with a bronze medal match. Matches are best-of-3 sets, except that the third set is a match tiebreak (first to 10 points) instead of a typical set. A tiebreak is played if one of the first two sets reaches 6–6.

Schedule

The competition is held over five days, Wednesday 28 July to Sunday 1 August 2021. Times given are the start of tennis sessions, though the mixed doubles shares courts with other tennis events.[1]
