The organizers of the first Grand Slam tournament of the season will hold a series of charity matches.
Soon, on January 16, the first Grand Slam tournament of the season, the Australian Open, will begin. The organizers of the competition did not ignore the war in Ukraine started by the Kremlin regime.
To help our country, even before the start of the tournament, a series of charity matches in support of Ukraine will be held.
The tournaments are currently underway in Adelaide and Hobart, and therefore the final list of participants in the matches has not yet been formed. However, Carlos Alcaras, Rafael Nadal, Corey Gauff, Maria Sakkari, Alexander Zverev, Francis Tiafu and Alex de Minaur have already expressed a desire to play with them.
