LONDON — Andy Murray says he will donate 50 pounds ($78) for every ace he hits from now until the end of the year to help the cause of refugees.
Murray, who is playing for Britain in this week's Davis Cup semifinals against Australia in Glasgow, decided on the idea after seeing images of migrants coming to Europe on the news.
