No room for sentiment in Dominic Thiem’s pursuit of Djokovic’s crown
The Austrian’s progress has been marked of late and he will be a serious threat in the Australian Open final
Dylan Alcott choked back tears after winning a sixth straight Australian Open quad wheelchair singles crown on Saturday night.
Alcott declared proudly he’d raised more than $40,000 for the disabled affected by Australia’s bushfires following his 6-0 6-4 final triumph over England’s Andy Lapthorne.
“We will be donating $40,000 to help people with a disability affected by bushfires,” Alcott said.
“And I know it’s been a pretty tough time in Australia and to try to help out in any way that we can, I was donating $100 per ace at the Australian Open and then all my team actually came on board. So, we actually donated $800 per ace and coming in to today.”
