Collins and Harrison received access because they had the highest singles and double rankings among the teams on the alternative list. Collins is 59th place in singles, and Harrison is 17th in doubles. They would play Belinda Bencic and Alexander Zverev later Tuesday in a first round game. What next for Jannik Sinner?
