Miller said he will enter the USTA's new nationals playoff system to earn to a spot in tennis's fourth major tournament of the year. The effort is to begin with a sectional tournament in the spring after the World Cup skiing season ends.
Miller, 32, won the Maine high school state singles tennis championship in 1996 and his family operates a tennis camp in New Hampshire.
He has two overall World Cup titles and two Olympic silver medals in skiing.
The USTA this year instituted a program in which U.S. players can earn a wild-card berth at the U.S. Open by winning the playoff tournament. One tournament slot will be given to the men's and women's playoff winners.
