Jay Chou to play at Australian Open, will donate million dollar prize money to charity if he wins

Of course, Chou is fully aware of this and wasted no time managing expectations, stating that the match could be over in under a minute.

He even thinks that he might get knocked out before even touching the ball, adding that his game plan is to serve first.

“At least I will get to hit the ball once,” he joked in an Instagram Story.

However, he also advised overseas fans not to splurge on airfare just for a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it match.

“So, there’s no need to fly all the way here,” he wrote, though he encouraged fans in Australia to turn up and cheer him on.

Many fans have since cheered him on in the comments.

One even appealed to his competitors: “It’s for a good cause. Please let Jay win.”
