Nick Kyrgios shows once again his great heart. The Australian sensation has recently inspired Tennis Australia to contribute to help the people affected by the ravaging bushfire. The world no.30 also pledged to donate $200 for every ace that he blasts during the Australian Summer. Nick started with a bang as he fired 20 aces in his first match against Jan-Lennard Struff that converts to a donation of $4,000.
Nick crying on court
Soon after the match, Nick was asked about his contribution and thoughts about the tragedy and the fact that many of his colleagues followed him in pledging the money to the cause.
The Australian broke in tears to comment: “I don’t really care about the praise too much. We’ve got the ability and the platform to do something. My home town is Canberra and we’ve got the most toxic air in the world at the moment, that’s pretty sad. It’s tough. Sorry.”

Next vs. Felix Auger Aliassime H2H
Nick will take on Felix Auger Aliassime in his next match. The head to head is 1-0 for the Canadian but Kyrgios is probably the favorite this time.
"It's bigger than tennis."
All class from Nick Kyrgios. ❤️️
