2 weeks agoKyrgios beats Sabalenka 6-3, 6-3 in Battle of the Sexes' tennis showdown
Nick Kyrgios, ranked 671st, beat world number one Aryna Sabalenka 6-3, 6-3 in a modified-rules Battle of the Sexes exhibition in Dubai.
The exhibition, to take place on 28 December, was confirmed by both players on social media. When the world No 1 challenges you, you answer the call. I've got massive respect for Aryna; she's a powerhouse and a true champion, said Kyrgios, who shares an agent with Sabalenka. But I've never backed down from a challenge, and I'm not just here to play, I'm here to entertain. This is what I live for.
