London: World No.1 Rafael Nadal is expected to earn $1 million a night in the International Tennis Premier League (ITPL) to be held later this year. The tournament, modelled on the lines of cricket's Indian Premier League, is the brainchild of Indian tennis veteran Mahesh Bhupathi and its players' auction will take place in Dubai over the weekend.

The Telegraph has reported that Nadal is committed to play as a marquee player in the city-based ITPL scheduled from Nov 28 to Dec 20 across Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Mumbai, Singapore and Hong Kong.
