American tennis player Taylor Fritz is donating the prize money he earned for his first-round victory at the Australian Open — about $82,000 — to relief funds to help people affected by the wildfires in the greater Los Angeles area.

Taylor Fritz will donate his $82,000 prize money from the 2025 Australian Open to help victims of the Los Angeles wildfires after he defeated Cristian Garin 6-2, 6-1, 6-0 on Thursday.

I feel like it’s really the least I can do,” the American tennis player, who grew up in Southern California, shared.

Taylor Fritz took less than two hours to clinch his first-round match at the Australian Open against fellow American Jenson Brooksby.
