Reilly Opelka is not only the American no.3, but he is also a guy who cares for the others and he had a great idea for the upcoming Miami Open. The world no.41 is well known for his incredible serve that is struck from his height (6 feet 11 inches or 2.11m). The American giant will pledge $100 for every ace that he hits during the Miami Open. The money will support the Spinal Chord Injury research. This is the link for direct donations.
This was his message:
“I’m really excited for the @wflworldrun May 9th! 100% of proceeds go to Spinal Chord Injury research. I will be donating $100 for every ace I hit during the Miami Open. Anyone who donates will be automatically entered to win my entire kit. Swipe to see what its got!”
