To give you an idea of how much money could be raised, it is expected that throughout the singles, doubles, group rounds and the Final Eight matches more than 1500 aces will be served by players. In other words, some $150,000 could be pledged towards helping bushfire ravaged communities in NSW and Victoria.
"Communities across the whole country have been devastated by the bushfire crisis and at this time of the year, with our events in full swing, tennis has a unique opportunity to support the relief and recovery efforts,” ATP Cup Tournament Director Tom Larner said.
“Most of the players are already keen to score aces and win a quick point, and having the chance to raise money for the bushfire appeal will give them that extra bit of motivation."
Other tennis players, including Alex De Minaur and John Millman have also offered to donate money for each ace hit.
