Australian tennis players to help bushfire relief efforts with ace pledge

Some of Australia's best players including Nick Kyrgios are set to team up to donate to the bushfire relief efforts with every ace they serve during the tournament and further forward.

Kyrgios is one of the main stars to do so with the eccentric Aussie ace putting on Twitter that he will donate $200 per ace for the whole summer this year.

Sam Stosur added the same tweeting just an hour later that; she will also donate the same amount over the Aussie summer.

Alex de Minaur went even higher donating $250 per ace; with John Millman, Alex Bolt and Priscilla Hon also joining the efforts.
