Brisbane: Lleyton Hewitt has been confirmed in the Australian team to play Japan in their Asia/Oceania Group I second-round match on clay at Brisbane next month.
Hewitt is continuing a comeback from hip surgery which forced him out of the Australians' 5-0 defeat of Taiwan in the first round in March.
Team captain John Fitzgerald and coach Todd Woodbridge will name the other players in the Australian team by Tuesday.
The May 7-9 match will be played on a specially-built clay court on Pat Rafter Arena at the Queensland Tennis Centre. The winner advances to the World Group playoffs in September.
Australia, which has won the Davis Cup 28 times, leads Japan 14-2 in Davis Cup head-to-heads and has won the last six encounters.
