Australian Open 2020: Simona Halep pledges to help Australia Bushfire Relief in a unique way
The No.4 ranked Romanian knows that she does not hit too many aces. Thus, she chose to take a unique way to express her support for the Australia Bushfire victims. According to Simon Halep, every time she gives a hard time to her coach Darren Cahill in her matches, she will donate $2000 to the relief fund. It was a hilarious statement but at the same time, it was a heroic one. Take a look at the tweet before you see her back in action at the ongoing Australian Open.
After a little bit (ok a lot 😂) of debate with my team, I'm happy to announce that I'm donating $2000 to the bushfires for giving @darren_cahill a hard time "only" 10 times during tonight's match.

Simona Halep inspired France’s Alize Cornet to do something similar. Just like Halep, Alize Cornet is also not known for her serving abilities. Thus, she came up with her own idea of fundraising. According to the French, she will donate $50 for every drop shot win in the ongoing Australian Open. No wonder, Alize Cornet and Simona Halep won everyone’s heart by making such a great gesture.
"I'm afraid to ask" 🙈
