In an exhibition match titled "Battle of the Sexes," held on December 28 in Dubai, Nick Kyrgios, representing Australia, defeated Aryna Sabalenka, who is ranked first in the women's world rankings, with a score of 6:3, 6:3.

Despite being ranked 671st in the men's rankings and having limited playing time in recent years, Kyrgios managed to win in two sets against the four-time Grand Slam champion. Interestingly, the match was played under special rules: players were allowed one serve, and Sabalenka's court was reduced by nine percent, which helped mitigate her advantages in speed and power.

This match generated significant interest and discussion among spectators, but was mainly perceived as a demonstration show rather than a serious sporting confrontation between men's and women's tennis.
