Novak Djokovic hosts a charity match at Rod Laver Arena as he and other players prepare for the Australian Open which begins on Sunday.

Four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka was one of several players at the Australian Open to "send love" to Los Angeles as she reveals the devastating wildfires were just three blocks from her home.

It has destroyed thousands of structures and is now the "most destructive" wildfire ever in Los Angeles. Alongside the Palisades Fire, there are also several other fires in the Los Angeles area that firefighters are working tirelessly to contain.

I’m not there, so I don’t know how bad it is or how bad it’s going to get,” she said. “But I think the biggest thing that I am grateful for is that everyone in my family is safe.”

While Naomi Osaka is busy competing — and winning — at the Australian Open, she needed to send someone to retrieve her 1 1/2-year-old daughter's birth certificate from their California home in case it got caught up in the wildfires ravaging the greater Los Angeles area.

The smooth tones of Jim Courier are as much of a staple of the Australian Open as the iconic blue courts the players take to.
