Kyrgios, who was placed on probation by the
governing body of men's tennis over his on-court behaviour last
year, emerged as Australia's hero earlier in 2020 during the
bushfire crisis.
His "bad boy" image was transformed since his appeal to the
tennis world kickstarted a campaign that raised millions of
dollars for the victims of the crisis before and during the
Australian Open Grand Slam in Melbourne.
"If ANYONE is not working/not getting an income and runs out of
food, or times are just tough ... please don't go to sleep with
an empty stomach," Kyrgios wrote on Instagram with a caption
"real talk".
"Don't be afraid or embarrassed to send me a private message. I
will be more than happy to share whatever I have.
"Even just for a box of noodles, a loaf of bread or milk. I will
drop it off at your doorstep, no questions asked!"
The 24-year-old Kyrgios is spending time in his hometown of
Canberra with the sport suspended across the world till at least
mid July as countries have gone into lockdown to contain the
spread of the virus.
