Each direct kick that occurs during the ATP Cup, which begins this Friday in three Australian cities, will be transformed into dollars to help those affected by the forest fires in this country.
This has been communicated by the organization of the ATP Cup, which indicates that each 'ace' will result in $ 100 for relief efforts and fire recovery. The tournament expects 1,500 'aces' to occur and therefore the contribution is $ 150,000.
The first who jumped into the arena and voluntarily signed up to donate money ($ 200 in his case) was the Australian Nick Kyrgios . "I am starting support for those affected by the fires. I will donate $ 200 for each 'ace' that is right in all the events I play this summer," he said on social media.
The player was born in Canberra, a town very affected by these accidents that have caused 17 deaths so far, and that has burned more than 1,300 homes. Kyrgios also asked Tennis Australia to organize a charity event whose funds go to those affected by this disaster.
