Nick Kyrgios defeated Aryna Sabalenka 6-3, 6-3 in a 'Battle of the Sexes' exhibition match in Dubai. The event, attended by 17,000 spectators including football legends Ronaldo and Kaka, was described by critics as a cynical spectacle rather than a serious contest. Both players acknowledged their aim was entertainment, with Kyrgios employing a less intense style and Sabalenka incorporating playful elements. The match featured a modified court to address perceived biological advantages.
