The 24 year old also called on Tennis Australia to host a fund-raising exhibition.

The exhibition match, the AO Rally for Relief, will see some of the world's best players take to the court, with names to be announced closer to the time.

Tennis Australia has already agreed to donate AUS$100 for every ace served at the ATP Cup in Brisbane, Perth and Sydney.
