Serena and Venus Williams along with Bob and Mike Bryan will lead a group of 12 players who have qualified and will compete for the 2016 U. S. Olympic Tennis Team in Rio. The Williams Sisters and Bryan Brothers both won gold medals in the doubles competition at the 2012 games in London.

The remaining members of the U. S. Olympic team include singles players Madison Keys and Sloane Stephens and the doubles team of Bethanie Mattek-Sands and CoCo Vandeweghe. The Williams sisters will compete in both singles and doubles. Men's singles players include Brian Baker, Steve Johnson, Denis Kudla and Jack Sock. Johnson and Sock will team up to join the Bryans in the doubles competition.

Two mixed doubles entries will be named once the players arrive in Rio. Mixed doubles competition will be held for only the second time since tennis returned to the Olympic program at the Seoul 1988 Games.
