The 22-year-old de Minaur played at Wimbledon where he lost to the American Sebastian Korda in the first round.

"We know that no other tennis player has had physical contact with Alex since leaving Wimbledon on July 5, where he tested negative," said Ian Chesterman of the Australian Olympic Committee.

- All other Australian players have tested negative since then.

We look forward to welcoming these players to our squad, he continues.

Alex de Minaur would play both singles and doubles in Tokyo.
