Reilly Opelka to donate $100 for every ace he hits at the Miami Open

Reilly Opelka has been one of the best servers on the tour for a while often being compared to John Isner with whom he shared a gigantic frame.

The 23-year old already hit over 1.900 aces in his career and depending on his run at the Miami Open he will certainly add a few more. He has pledged to donate $100 for each ace he hits at the Masters 1000 event. The money will go to Wings For Life, a non-profit research foundation dedicated to spinal cord research.

On the decision Opelka commented:

“I can’t say enough about the amazing work Wings For Life does to support individuals with spinal cord injuries through crucial research. The Wings for Life campaign is an important way to not only raise money that will be 100 percent dedicated to researching a cure but also to promote awareness of spinal cord injuries that affects millions of people around the world."

Fans can join Opelka’s ‘Aces Give Flight’ by making a donation, 100 percent of which will go directly to spinal cord research in the United States. Everyone who donates will be entered to win the 23-year-old's kit. The Wings for Life World Run, also supporting the foundation, will take place on 9 May.
