The US awarded a wildcard to the man and woman that earned the most ranking points across a group of three Challenger/ITF hardcourt events in the United States in October and November 2016. For the men, it was the Charlottesville, Knoxville and Champaign Challengers and for the women, it was Macon, Scottsdale and Waco. Only the best two results from the three challengers were taken into account with the winners being teenagers Michael Mmoh and Kayla Day. These players were announced on 18 November 2016.^[5][6]

The Asia-Pacific Australian Open Wildcard Play-off featured 16-players in the men's and women's singles draws and took place from 28 November to 4 December 2016 at Hengqin International Tennis Centre in Zhuhai, China.^[7]
