Nick Kyrgios has launched a strong defence of his upcoming exhibition match against Aryna Sabalenka as criticism intensifies around the so-called Battle of the Sexes event set for 28 December in Dubai.
The match, which will be played under modified rules, has sparked debate across the tennis world about gender dynamics, sporting integrity, and the impact such exhibitions have on women's tennis. While supporters argue it brings visibility, critics claim it risks trivialising the women's game.
