On Wednesday, the US Open held its 'Tennis Plays for Peace' event for Ukraine relief ahead of the start of the year's final grand slam event, raising $1.2 million, according to the United States Tennis Association (USTA).

Nadal and Swiatek took on McEnroe and Gauff in one of the highlights of the evening.
    Women's world No. 1 Swiatek said: "For me, especially because Ukraine is right next to my country and because we as Poles are really united and helping, and I want to use every opportunity to show people that we all can be united."

    US star Coco Gauff added: "For me to speak out is something that I always cherish. I always said you can change the world with your racket.
    "So being here today on Armstrong and playing for such an amazing cause is something that I won't take for granted, and I'm grateful to do it amongst legends of the sport."
      Ukrainian players Dayana Yastremska, Katarina Zavatska and Daria Snigur -- as well as former players Sergiy Stakhovsky and Olga Savchuk -- were also at the Louis Armstrong Stadium, while 12-year-old Ustyn Chornyy, from the Ukrainian Chorus Dumka of New York, sang the Ukrainian national anthem.
