In the wake of the Coronavirus cancelling many sports events, sports fans and competitors alike have turned to esports as a source of entertainment. A recent charity tournament was held in Mario Tennis Aces, featuring professional tennis players and celebrities alike, and the winner of the doubles bracket were Addison Rae and Taylor Fritz.
For those that don't keep up with social media or sports, Addison Rae is TikTok's 5th most followed individual, featuring 39 million followers and 2 billion likes. Her partner in the Mario Tennis Aces tournament, Taylor Fritz, is a professional tennis player that has some accomplishments to his name as well.
The team came out on top, winning one million dollars to donate to a charity of their choice. They picked No Kid Hungry, and one can hope that their substantial contribution will make a difference there.
Addison Rae's fans are ecstatic about the victory, with many congratulating her or commenting on how she is technically a pro Mario Tennis Aces player now. The victory is certainly impressive and could possible even see a boost in both of their followers.
Mario Tennis Aces is available now for Nintendo Switch.
