No tennis wild cards for Rio Olympics, clarifies ITF

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) will not offer any wild cards for the tennis events at this year’s Rio Olympics which means Indian players will have to qualify for main draws solely on the basis of their rankings.
ITF Secretary General Juan Margets has clarified that no National Association can apply for wild cards. 
It means that All Indian Tennis Association (AITA) President Anil Khanna, who is also the ITF Vice President, will not be able to help the Indian players, particularly Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi .
