Tennis stars Aryna Sabalenka and Nick Kyrgios are set to compete in a promotional exhibition match in Dubai, billed as a 'Battle of the Sexes'. This event draws parallels to the historic 1973 match where Billie Jean King defeated Bobby Riggs, a pivotal moment for women's sports and equal pay. While the current exhibition is framed similarly, it is also viewed as a modern sports marketing spectacle, raising questions about its context and purpose beyond commercial promotion.
