The donation from players was announced by Novak Djokovic and Rafa Nadal after Serbia defeated Spain to capture the inaugural ATP Cup team event in Sydney. "This donation with the ATP is on behalf of all the players and our thoughts and support go out to all those who have been affected," ATP Player Council president Djokovic added in a statement“Australia is such an amazing and welcoming country and it feels like home for us at the start of each season. To see the damage to wildlife and nature... has been devastating.”
Serena Williams — who donated her earnings after winning the Auckland Classic on Sunday — as well as Roger Federer and Nadal will feature in an exhibition match on Jan. 15 ahead of the Australian Open to raise funds.
