Japan ace Kei Nishikori will square off against tennis legend John McEnroe in a November charity match, the Japan Tennis Association announced Tuesday.
The match, scheduled for Nov. 17 at Ariake Colosseum, will be part of an event to support the rebuilding efforts following the 2011 earthquake and tsunami that devastated northeast Japan. Nishikori is currently ranked 12th in the world.
It is the third year the event will be held, with two-time Paralympic wheelchair champion Shingo Kunieda and former ace Shuzo Matsuoka also scheduled to take to the court.
