Kyrgios to donate to bushfire victims with each ace

Australia is suffering from a horrific natural disaster which has claimed the lives of thousands of wildlife, including over 2,000 koalas.

The bushfires started way back in September of 2019 and have been ripping through the country ever since, with plenty being done to stop the disaster, but with no avail so far.

It's been reported, as per The Metro, that 17 people have died due to the fire, but that number is low compared to the damage it's done to the country's wildlife and nature.

Thousands of people have had to evacuate their homes and abandon their lifestyle because of the fires, and it sadly shows no sign of slowing down any time soon.

The fires tend to start because of Australia's heat, with temperatures often reaching a scorching 40 degrees. However, the heat this year has also been blended with strong winds that have made it easier for the fires to spread.

The fact they also have little to no rain makes the conditions that much worse.

Due to the natural disaster which is destroying parts of his country, Kyrgios is trying his very best to raise funds for the victims and spread awareness of the horrific story.

Nick Kyrgios says he will donate "$200 (US$140) per ace" this summer to help the victims of Australia's bushfire crisis.

I'm kicking off the support for those affected by the fires," Kyrgios tweeted. "I'll be donating $200 per ace that I hit across all the events I play this summer. #MoreToCome #StayTuned."

Alex de Minaur, who will play alongside Kyrgios at the upcoming ATP Cup, rapidly followed up with a similar gesture, tweeting: "I like this I will go $250 per ace, just because I don't think I'll be hitting as many aces as you mate."

Fellow Australian tennis star John Millman, Kyrgio's other teammate for the upcoming tournament, also joined, pledging "$100 for an ace over the Australian summer", while the ATP confirmed it will also be donating $100 for every ace served throughout the competition, which kicks off on January 2.
