Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer are set to lead their respective teams at the 2015 International Premier Tennis League (IPTL).

The Indian Aces claimed the inaugural title last year after having Swiss great Federer as part of their outfit.

An additional team has been added to the tournament in 2015, with the Japan Warriors joining the Aces, UAE Royals, Philippine Mavericks and Singapore Slammers.

Federer has joined the Royals for the five-city swing, beginning with the opening stop in Kobe, Japan, on Wednesday.

After an outstanding year that included three grand slam titles, Djokovic is part of a Slammers line-up that features Australian Nick Kyrgios.

Kei Nishikori and Maria Sharapova headline the Japan Warriors outfit.

Women's world number one Serena Williams will look to lead the Mavericks, who also have Milos Raonic, Richard Gasquet and Borna Coric as part of their team.

After the teams do battle in Kobe, they will head to Manila, New Delhi, Dubai and the final stop of the season in Singapore on December 18-20.
