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.

The ATP Cup have also upped the stakes and in response to Kyrgios' and co's efforts will donate $100 to Red Cross Australia bushfire disaster relief for every ace served in the whole tournaments; with over $150,000 expected to be donated.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
