Rafael Nadal will return to Sydney for the first time since 2007 to headline an expanded Fast4 Tennis format which includes Lleyton Hewitt in January.

In an extension of the 2015 experiment which included Roger Federer, Nadal will headline a world team which also includes Frenchman Gael Monfils and American legend John McEnroe to play Australia.

Lleyton Hewitt will lead the Aussie team before his final Australian Open and will be joined by Nick Kyrgios and former Wimbledon champion Pat Cash.
