Kyrgios Beats Sabalenka in Dubai 'Battle of Sexes' Exhibition

• Nick Kyrgios defeated Aryna Sabalenka 6-3, 6-3 in a 'Battle of the Sexes' exhibition match in Dubai.
• The match was light entertainment, featuring jokes, under-arm serves, and dancing, rather than a gender equality landmark.
• Kyrgios, returning from injuries, played with modified rules like a smaller court for Sabalenka and one serve per point.
• Both players enjoyed the show; Sabalenka seeks 'revenge,' and Kyrgios called it a 'stepping stone for tennis.'
• Unlike the 1973 Billie Jean King vs. Bobby Riggs match, this event had no wider cultural significance, aiming to entertain.

Why It Matters: Kyrgios beat Sabalenka in a fun exhibition, a 'Battle of the Sexes' for entertainment, not equality.
