The new decade's first Grand Slam, Australian Open 2020, is underway Down Under where the biggest names of the tennis world are battling against each other. While the focus of the fans is majorly on stars like Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, the tennis universe might have missed that the ball boys, girls and court-side statisticians are sporting T-shirts manufactured in Tirupur, Coimbatore.

Australian Open 2020 is one of the grandest sporting events of the world which attracts the attention of the entire world. Prior to the tournament, there was a special Rally for Relief event to support the victims of the Australian bushfire and now, the organizers have once again shown their support to the environment by using T-shirts made of recycled PET bottles.
