Kyrgios was included on the list of qualifiers for the men’s singles competition, with the entry list published at the start of the month.

The 26-year-old has largely been absent from the tennis circuit during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This included withdrawing from last year’s US Open, which was held behind closed doors under a series of restrictions.

Kyrgios played at the Australian Open, while his participation at Wimbledon was a rare tournament appearance outside of his home country.

His ranking has dropped to 60 due to his absence.

The Australian admitted he was unsure over whether to participate at Tokyo 2020 when asked at a Wimbledon press conference, following his third-round exit.

"If I'm to play the Olympics, I've said it numerous times, I want to do it the right way," Kyrgios said.

"I want to do it with full crowds, with my guests there.

"I want to do it when I'm able to watch other athletes do their thing.

"That's the Olympics for me.

"The way it's going to go on is not the Olympics, that's not what it is for me.

"With these restrictions, that's not how I want to remember the Olympics either if I play it just one time.

"We'll see, we'll see what I do."

Chef de Mission Ian Chesterman has said the Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) would be supportive of whatever decision Kyrgios takes.

Chesterman said that Kyrgios would be welcome on the team should he decide to participate.

"We’d still love to see Nick over at these Games," Chesterman said, according to the Australian Associated Press.

"He knows he’s welcome at these Games and I would still think it’d be a fantastic outcome for tennis and our team if he was there.

"But I understand and respect his decision, whichever way he goes.

"People have to believe they can perform under these different circumstances, so Nick will make his own decisions and we’ll respect that.

"We have to acknowledge it’s been a very difficult lead-up for all athletes."

Kyrgios withdrew from Rio 2016 after a row with the AOC, claiming he had been a victim of "unwarranted attacks" from the organisation.

The Australian Chef de Mission for Rio 2016, Kitty Chiller, had threatened Kyrgios and Bernard Tomic with the possibility of being axed from the team if their behaviour failed to improve.

Kyrgios had expressed a desire to compete at Tokyo 2020 last year, prior to the pandemic forcing the postponement of the Games.
