LaMelo, others join Kyrgios's fire fight

Earlier, Tennis Australia said plans were in place to support those impacted by the country's bushfires after Kyrgios' proposal for a charity exhibition match to raise funds ahead of this month's Australian Open gained rapid support.

The world No. 30 posted his idea to Twitter late on Wednesday and by Thursday afternoon the concept was gathering pace. "The more exposure it gets I think we have the potential to do something pretty special there," Kyrgios told media ahead of the inaugural ATP Cup, where he'll represent Australia in Brisbane from Friday.

"All the heartbreak this summer; it's pretty tragic what's going on, especially with my hometown, Canberra, being under a bit of smoke, the most hazardous smoke in the world at the moment.Australian Nick Kyrgios has led numerous compatriots on the ATP Tour to follow his example and donate to victims of bushfires in their country.

On Thursday morning Tennis Australia CEO Craig Tiley said the public should"stay tuned" for the announcement of a number of initiatives, beginning at the inaugural ATP Cup to be played between Sydney, Perth and Brisbane from Friday.
