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.

On social media, Kyrgios expressed his disbelief with a single character tweet: an asterisk. This was widely interpreted as a suggestion that Sinner's Wimbledon victory lacked legitimacy.
