Nick Kyrgios, Australian former Wimbledon finalist, is to play women's world No.1 Aryna Sabalenka in an exhibition match in Dubai.
The clash evokes memories of the 1973 Battle of the Sexes match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs — which King won in straight sets in the Houston Astrodome and was later the subject of a Hollywood movie.
Kyrgios also follows Australians Margaret Court, Evonne Goolagong Cawley and Pat Cash in playing such a match.
