Romanian tennis star Simona Halep has donated USD 20,000 to the victims of the Australia bushfires, she said in a Twitter post.

At the beginning of January, Halep said she would donate USD 200 for every time she gives her coach Darren Cahill a hard time during her matches in Australia. She thus joined tennis players from all over the world who donated for the bushfire relief effort.

In the Twitter post, she also promised her coach be “on her best behavior from now on.”

Happy to announce that I have donated a total of $20,000 to the bushfire relief fund 🇦🇺

I'll be on my best behaviour from now on, promise @darrencahill 😜#Aces4BushfireRelief #AusOpen https://t.co/axHes7Phq1
