Joining de Minaur in men's singles are Alexei Popyrin, Chris O'Connell, and Rinky Hijikata. Matt Ebden and John Peers will compete in men's doubles. De Minaur and Popyrin will also team up in doubles. Ajla Tomljanovic will represent Australia in women's singles, while Ellen Perez and Daria Saville will compete in women's doubles.

The competition will return to clay courts for the first time since the 1992 Barcelona Games, hosted from July 27 to Aug. 4 at Roland Garros. Leading the Australian teams are captains Lleyton Hewitt for the men's team and Sam Stosur for the women's team.
