I was a Tennis Umpire years ago when it was semi-professional.
Even though it's fully-professional now, I would think you simply have to contact the ATP or WTA and ask them the application procedure.

Well for both the ATP and the WTA, I absolutely love the Sony Ericsson Open in Miami, it's just a fantastic setting for a hard court tournament in Miami and you can pretty much count on all the top 10 players to be there. As for the ATP I have always enjoyed the masters series especially the Monte Carlo Masters. Monte Carlo is one of my favorite cities and one the most beautiful cities in the world and it's just fun to imagine playing a tournament in such a glamorous city where all the rich and famous and allot of players call home. For the WTA it's a tie between Moscow, Saint Petersburg and Zurich there all great tournaments in really nice cities. Of course me being from Moscow, that tournament is very special,LOL. But none of the regular tournaments can compare to the grandslams or the Olympics especially. I don't care where the Olympics are held it's always going to be one the grandest tournament stages for any player to grace and to be chosen to represent your country at the biggest sporting event in the world is a feeling I'm sure unlike any other. It really angers me when stupid announcers and nay-sayers groan about tennis not belonging at the Olympics, that is complete garbage to me. It's not like they have a problem getting all the best players on the teams so what's to complain about? Okay yeah maybe the playing schedule could be hectic, but it is the Olympics, it's not a grandslam tournament that occurs every year. It is the Olympics that only comes every four years, and it would be worth it whether you win or lose.
