Sabalenka vs Kyrgios Dubai Exhibition Dec. 28

Aryna Sabalenka and Nick Kyrgios will meet in a one‑off “Battle of the Sexes” exhibition at Dubai’s Coca‑Cola Arena on December 28, 2025, organized by the players’ agency Evolve. Sabalenka, the world No. 1 and reigning Grand Slam champion, has said she will bring her A‑game, while Kyrgios, ranked around 650 and returning from extended injury layoffs, has predicted an easy win but framed his role as entertainment. Organizers say the match format has not been finalised and may include measures to level the contest, such as serving restrictions or court modifications. Both players are also scheduled to appear in other December exhibitions (Sabalenka vs Naomi Osaka; Kyrgios vs Tommy Paul), underlining the event’s exhibition and entertainment focus. The matchup is being billed as the most prominent 'Battle of the Sexes'‑style event since 1992.
