Tennis exhibition match set to feature some of the world’s top players. Kyrgios kicked off a flood of donations to the fundraising campaign from sporting names around Australia, including
American NBL star LaMelo Ball.
Kyrgios floated the idea of a charity tennis match and Tennis Australia on Friday responded by announcing “Rally For Relief”, an exhibition match on Rod Laver Arena on 15 January. It will also donate proceeds from a Jessica Mauboy concert on 19 January to the Red Cross appeal and grant $1m for communities to rebuild tennis facilities.
