Tennis: Kyrgios in tears over fires in Australia

Ace and tears for Nick Kyrgios on the opening day of the ATP Cup. The Australian player, who emerged victorious in the match against the German Struff, was moved at the press conference talking about the devastating fires that are raging in the country. "It is really hard to witness what is happening. My hometown, Canberra, has the most toxic air in the world. It is sad," said Kyrgios, very busy raising funds for those affected, so much so that he decided to donate $ 200 for each winning service in the games he plays in January. Only today, with 20 aces, has put together four thousand dollars.
"I am not interested in compliments," he said of his initiative, which involves many Australian tennis players. "We have the ability and the will to do something. The proceeds will go to all families, firefighters and animals." Kyrgios will participate on Wednesday 15 January in a performance specially organized in Melbourne to raise funds, an event in which not only Australian tennis players will participate.
The other sports are also mobilizing in the country. The most important jockeys, for example, have announced that they will give all the winnings accumulated during this month to charity.
