Like the tournaments of the ATP World Tour or the WTA Tour, the Olympic tournament was played in the knockout process from the first round. The pairings of the first round were drawn. A seeding list prevented the top-placed players in the world rankings from clashing early. The winners of the semi-finals played for the gold medal, the losers for the bronze medal. The games were played on two winning sets, only the final in the men's singles on three winning sets. In contrast to the previous Olympic Games, no more world ranking points were awarded.

Qualification criteria
A maximum of six women and six men may participate per NOK . The ITF can assign up to four quota places by invitation. 64 athletes start in singles, 32 couples in women and men doubles and 16 couples in mixed doubles. A maximum of four athletes per country and gender may be used in singles, and a maximum of two pairs per country and gender in doubles.
The qualification criteria apply to women and men. 56 of the 64 single starters and 24 of the 32 double pairs qualify directly via the world rankings on June 6, 2016, directly after the French Open . If there are more than four athletes or more than two doubles from a country on the said places in the world rankings, then athletes move up accordingly in the following places. The other starting places are also assigned by the world rankings, but taking into account continental minimum quotas and no longer to NOKs who had already qualified athletes. The ITF will allocate the starting places for the mixed doubles after qualification has been completed. Only athletes who are also qualified in another competition are allowed to start in mixed. Only athletes who had at least two appearances in a Davis Cup or Fed Cup game between 2013 and 2016 can qualify , whereby one of the appearances must have taken place in 2015 or 2016. Doubles players who were in the top ten of the world rankings as of June 6, 2016, were directly qualified and were allowed to choose any partner, provided that they were listed in the world rankings with any position.
Qualified athletes
On June 30th, the ITF announced the list of qualified players. In total, athletes from 51 different NOKs qualified for the Olympic tournaments.
Quota places the Tripartite Commission went with the ladies of Veronica Cepede Royg of Paraguay and Stephanie Vogt of Liechtenstein. Both had already received a quota place in 2012 .
