Going by what a few of...

It doesn't make any difference to the charity if the donation is a large or small proportion of the donor's wealth, but it blatantly makes a difference to the donor.

It's a great move, and one that...

However, I do agree that Cilic has a reasonable chance to take the first set, but I doubt he could take a 2nd.
