Overseasidol.com — Jay Chou has once again become a global talking point after the Australian Open officially announced his participation in the special “One Point Knockout” event scheduled for January 14.
The unique format pits professional players against amateurs in a single-point elimination match, where just one rally determines who advances and who is immediately eliminated.
What truly captured public attention was Jay Chou’s bold and generous promise.
Through his personal social media account, the Asian pop icon stated that if he were to win the competition and claim the 1 million Australian dollar prize, he would donate the entire amount to charity.
The statement quickly went viral and earned widespread praise from fans worldwide.
In another lighthearted post, Jay Chou joked about the unpredictable nature of the format, admitting that with only one point to decide the match, he might be eliminated without even touching the ball.
For that reason, he humorously expressed his wish to serve first, ensuring at least one chance to hit the ball before the match ends.
Fans also began revisiting Jay Chou’s recent tennis videos shared on social media, sparking speculation that he may have been secretly training in preparation for the Australian Open.
Known primarily as a legendary musician, producer, and cultural icon, Jay Chou’s participation in this high-profile tennis event highlights his versatility and his ability to bridge entertainment and sports.
