Nick Kyrgios won the latest version of the “Battle of the Sexes” in tennis, beating top-ranked women’s player Aryna Sabalenka 6-3, 6-3 in an exhibition match that represented light entertainment rather than another landmark moment for gender equality.
There was laughing and joking between the players, some under-arm serves, and even some dancing from Sabalenka during a timeout at the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai. “This is a great stepping stone for the sport of tennis,” the Australian said. Sabalenka said she would like to play Kyrgios again to exact revenge.
“Really enjoyed the show,” she said, “and I feel like next time I play him I’m going to know the tactics, his strengths and his weaknesses, and it’s going to be a better match, for sure.”
