Tennis Canada and the Canadian Olympic Committee announced their roster for Paris 2024 Olympic Games on Thursday.

The designations are as follows:

Bianca Andreescu (Mississauga, Ont.) – Women’s Singles

Félix Auger-Aliassime (Montreal, Que.) – Men’s Singles, Men’s Doubles

Gabriela Dabrowski (Ottawa, Ont.) – Women’s Doubles

Leylah Annie Fernandez (Laval, Que.) – Women’s Singles, Women’s Doubles

Milos Raonic (Thornhill, Ont.) – Men’s Singles, Men’s Doubles

“The athletes qualified for Paris 2024 based on their WTA and ATP Tour rankings as of Monday, June 10, 2024,” Tennis Canada said in a relase. “Andreescu and Raonic used their protected rankings to gain direct entry. For women’s doubles, Fernandez will partner with Dabrowski, while Auger-Aliassime will pair up with Raonic in men’s doubles. 

Andreescu won the US Open in 2019 and reached No. 4 in the WTA rankings that year, but has struggled with injuries in the years since.

“Playing at the Olympic Games has been a huge goal of mine these past few months as I have been working my way back from injury,” said Andreescu. “It is always an honour to represent my country and I cannot wait to do that again alongside Canada’s incredible team of athletes on the world’s biggest stage in Paris. This is a dream come true and I can’t wait to soak up the Olympic atmosphere and give it everything.”
