Oh well. I was wrong. Burestedt has been selected

Actually in these pandemic times it's a good decision . Imagine athletes qualifying but not getting a opportunity.

Wouldn't be the only Swedish athlete to do so  (though mainly in athletics where they are at least pretty clear about the standards)

@Griff88 New Zealand will likely decline its men's singles quota, meaning the quota bounces to Australia. However, Australia already has 2 continental quotas and cannot accept it. There is no other eligible athlete in the rankings, so does this mean the spot is reallocated back to the World Rankings?

Yep, just like 2016

Technically, Australia can chose any 2 of the continental quotas. WD should be safe. But, how to chose between XD and MS?

Bravo Martina, Congrats and enjoy the Olympics.
