World No. 2 Novak Djokovic has pledged to donate to Australia’s bushfire relief after Maria Sharapova urged him to do the same.

“Yes Maria Sharapova. I would like to match your $25k donation to double the aid sent to these communities. We stand by you Australia,” Djokovic tweeted on Monday. Sharapova had earlier pledged to Australia’s bushfire relief.
