Some of Asia's biggest tennis names came together in Japan on Sunday for the Dream Tennis exhibition, joining not just for tennis, but also for a "legendary selfie." The leads in the latest Nissin commercial, Naomi Osaka and Kei Nishikori, were the stars of the show.

Unlike with this year, Japan won't have a team in the 2019 Hopman Cup, with Osaka and Nishikori both committed to starting their season in Brisbane.

Osaka, Nishikori, Daniel and Chung all had positive 2018 seasons, with Osaka winning the US Open, Nishikori returning from injury to qualify for the ATP Finals, Chung making the Australian Open semifinals and Daniel rising in the rankings by 22 spots to No. 77.
