Yonex have revealed a partnership with Nick Kyrgios' NK Foundation to increase access and provide sport facilities to underprivileged and disadvantaged youths.
As a result at the Australian Open, they made a one-of-a-kind bracelet; which is made from recycled strings from players' rackets at this year's event.
“These bracelets are [made] from actual string that players are hitting with in the Open,” said Christos Kyrgios, NK Foundation CEO.
“Yonex is an official partner of Nick’s, so they’ve given these to us. We’re taking any donations – big or small – and all funds will go towards Nick’s foundation help underprivileged and disadvantaged kids around Melbourne and Australia.”
Before the tournament began, they raised A$9,000 at a launch event; they have been selling them during the Australian Open. Click here to find out more information and to buy your limited edition bracelet.

- A lot of top players with injuries now. Could be a coincidence. Still we have a lot of big tournaments in 4/5 months.
AceOfBase06-05-2024 - Iga never gets an easy draw in any tournament she plays. So that statement is far from the truth. Sabalenka has difficulty because all she wants to do is stand up and serve. She is not a tennis player. If she gets the opponents Iga have, she would be ousted earlier.crissy06-05-2024

mandoist05-05-2024 - Just be honest... This era of pro sports "couples" are merely easy hookups for sex while on the Tour. Like Hollywood and music biz (except they call it "dating")mandoist05-05-2024
