Australia's Nick Kyrgios is facing women's world number one Aryna Sabalenka in the latest 'Battle of the Sexes' match in tennis. The pair will face off in 'The Dubai Showdown' on 28 December 2025, with the 27-year-old Belarusian saying she was "proud to represent women's tennis".
This high-profile showdown won’t be a traditional singles duel, though. Instead, both stars will be pitted against each other as they join forces with partners of their own, competing for $1 million in prize money and major bragging rights.
