With bushfires still raging over the country, the superstars of tennis including Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams, as well as homegrown bad boy Nick Kyrgios threw their #Really4Relief event last night to raise funds at Rod Laver Arena.
A packed house, including many firies who received a standing ovation, witnessed the superstars hamming it up and enjoying themselves as they played some pick-up tennis. Kyrgios and Federer even played a couple of sets against each other (Federer won 7-7, 7-4 BTW).
Fed-X also teamed up with Nadal to donate $250K between them, with many of the other pros pledging to donate money for each ace they hit when the Australian Open kicks off next week. In total, the event raised $4.8 million. Check out some snaps from the event below:
