Wikipedia says that Ankita Raina qualified in Women's Singles on basis of her bronze medal in 2018 Asian Games. The two finalists Wang Qiang (rank 35) and Zhang Shuai (rank 38) are already within Direct Qualification places, and hence won't need the ITF places. I read the qualification document which says 

"Continental Qualification – the following athletes will qualify for an ITF Place provided his/her ranking is within the top 300 on the Singles Rankings of 7 June 2021 and provided the quota for the athlete’s NOC has not already been filled via Direct Acceptance."

 Can anyone confirm this

From the qualification PDF:

 

(Note: Athletes who achieve both a Continental Games qualification place and, subsequently, a Direct Acceptance ranking, will qualify using the Continental Qualification quota place)

 

Hence, Chinese girls will take the Continental quota only. I simply don't understand why the Federations (and IOC) write such complex qualification documents. 

 

Only way, Ankita Raina can qualify through Asian quota is if both the Chinese girls are not selected for Olympics.
