Aryna Sabalenka has called for a rematch with Nick Kyrgios after her straight sets defeat in a controversial 'Battle of the Sexes' tennis exhibition, saying she wants revenge and a different format.
The world number one was beaten 6-3, 6-3 by Kyrgios in Dubai last weekend in a highly publicised exhibition that divided opinion across the sport. The match featured modified rules designed to limit Kyrgios' power advantage, including a reduced court size on Sabalenka's side and a one serve restriction for both players. Despite those adjustments, Kyrgios controlled the contest and claimed victory.
