ATP Cup Press Release, January 6, 2020
The inaugural ATP Cup is currently being played in Brisbane, Sydney and Perth.
ATP Cup Tournament Director Tom Larner revealed that for every ace served across the 10-day tournament at all three venues will deliver $100 to the Australian Red Cross bushfire disaster relief and recovery efforts.
Day three of the ATP Cup has seen 133 aces served, helping add an additional $13,300 to aid the Australian Bushfire disaster relief, bringing the cumulative event total to $55,900 with 559 served in the first three days of action across the three cities.
Day three saw Russia’s Karen Khachanov top the leaderboard with 12 aces, closely followed by Taylor Fritz from the United States on 11.
After 133 aces were hit on Day 3 we are up to a total of 559 so far at the #ATPCup, which means $55,900 has been raised for @RedCrossAU.
