Nick Kyrgios Defeats World No.1 Aryna Sabalenka in Dubai ‘Battle of the Sexes’ Despite Modified Court Advantage World No. 671 Nick Kyrgios stunned tennis fans by beating women’s world No.1 Aryna Sabalenka in straight sets at the much-talked-about “Battle of the Sexes” exhibition in Dubai. Despite the court being modified to favour Sabalenka—shortened on her side to neutralise power and angles—the contest wasn’t as close as many expected. Altering court dimensions significantly disadvantages male players, whose games are built over decades around precision, angles, and powerful serves. Yet, the result highlighted the stark physical differences at the elite level, even against one of the most physically dominant players in women’s tennis. While intriguing, the unusual format left many questioning whether such exhibitions can truly take off in the future. #tennis #NickKyrgios #ArynaSabalenka #trendingnews
