Serena Williams, Rafael Nadal, Dominic Thiem, Denis Shapovalov, Nick Kyrgios and Reilly Opelka, the top-ranked American man.
Wimbledon men’s singles winner Novak Djokovic said he was 50-50 on whether he’ll go.
The Olympics, which begin on July 23, will be held without fans in the stands because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Athletes will also be limited in who they can bring with them to Tokyo.
Andreescu, who won the 2019 U.S. Open, said she’s looking forward to representing Canada at the Fed Cup and the 2024 Paris Olympics.
