Nick Kyrgios Follows Up on Promise to Deliver Food e Essentials to the Needy
Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios has followed up on his word to deliver food to those in need amid the current coronavirus epidemic.
Earlier this week, the controversial Australian had posted a heartfelt message on his Instagram account asking people to message him if they don't have enough food or basic necessities.
In his message, Kyrgios wrote, “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. 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!”

Kyrgios has now followed up on his earlier message. He posted a further update on his Instagram account with boxes of essential foods in his car with the caption “Deliveries in progress.” Kyrgios’ mother also shared an image to her Instagram account showing the family’s distribution centre — piles of food filling the family dining room in Canberra.

While the Australian has often been criticized for his on-court behaviour, he has shown his softer side when it comes to helping people off the court - he played a major role in the tennis world rallying around the Australian bushfire crisis in January - resulting in nearly $5 million being raised by the tennis community.
