Tournament summary

In the women's singles, Zheng Qinwen beat Donna Vekić to become the first Chinese tennis player to win Olympic singles gold. It was also China's second tennis gold medal after Li Ting and Sun Tiantian won the women's doubles in Athens in 2004. Zheng's gold medal followed an upset win in the semifinals over world #1 Iga Swiatek of Poland, the four-time and three-time defending French Open champion who had won 25 straight matches at Roland Garros. Swiatek won bronze over Anna Karolína Schmiedlová.

In the men's singles, Novak Djokovic of Serbia overcame French Open champion Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz in straight sets after tiebreaks in both to win gold. It marked the first Olympic gold medal in his fifth Olympic Games for Djokovic, who had won a record 24 Grand Slam men's singles titles including three French Opens (2016, 2021 and 2023), as well as the first Olympic tennis gold medal for Serbia as well as his second medal after having won a bronze medal in Beijing 2008 men's singles. Djokovic also became just the fifth player to win a career singles Golden Slam consisting of all four majors and Olympic gold after Steffi Graf, Andre Agassi, Rafael Nadal and Serena Williams. Graf is the only player to record a Golden Slam in a calendar year after doing so in 1988, while Williams is the only player to have a career Golden Slam in both singles and doubles (with her sister Venus as her partner). Nadal and Williams, together with former French world #1 Amélie Mauresmo, were also chosen among the torchbearers during the last leg of the Olympic torch relay during the opening ceremony despite not being French, and Djokovic beat Nadal in the second round. Lorenzo Musetti won bronze over Félix Auger-Aliassime in three sets.

Everything I felt in that moment when I won surpassed everything I thought or hoped that it would...Being on that court with the Serbian flag raising, singing the Serbian anthem, with the gold around my neck, I think nothing can beat that in terms of professional sport. It definitely stands out as the biggest sporting achievement I have had.
— Novak Djokovic after winning the men's singles gold medal

In the men's doubles, Matthew Ebden and John Peers became the first Australian pair to win the event since "The Woodies" (Todd Woodbridge and Mark Woodforde) in Atlanta in 1996, while the United States pairs took both silver and bronze. Sara Errani and Jasmine Paolini won the women's doubles, while Kateřina Siniaková and Tomáš Macháč won the mixed doubles.

The event was also Andy Murray's last professional outing after winning gold in the London 2012 event at Wimbledon and in Rio de Janeiro four years later, where he was Great Britain's opening ceremony flagbearer, in addition to three Grand Slam singles titles and a Davis Cup with Great Britain. It was also the last event for former world #1 Angelique Kerber, who had won three Grand Slam singles titles and been the silver medalist in Rio.

Qualification

Main article: Tennis at the 2024 Summer Olympics – Qualification

To be eligible for Paris 2024, a tennis player must satisfy the key criteria to play on Davis Cup or Billie Jean King Cup teams. The qualification pathway for the singles tournaments is primarily based on the ATP and WTA rankings of 10 June 2024, with 56 players entering each of the men's and women's singles (limited to four per National Olympic Committee (NOC)). Six of the remaining eight slots are attributed to the NOCs with no other qualified tennis players across five continental zones (two for the Americas and one each for the rest). The final two spots are reserved, one for the host nation France and the other for the previous Olympic gold medalist or Grand Slam champion. In the men's and women's doubles tournaments, thirty-two places will offer for the highest-ranked teams with ten of them reserved for players in the top ten of the doubles rankings, who could select his or her partner from their NOC ranked in the top 300 of either singles or doubles. The remaining spots are attributed through the combined rankings with a preference given to the singles players once the total quota is filled. One team per gender is reserved for the host nation France if none has already become eligible otherwise. With no quota places available for the mixed doubles, all teams will consist of players already entered in either the singles or doubles, including the top 15 combined ranking teams and the host nation France.
