# Tennis: World number one Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus will play Australian Nick Kyrgios in an exhibition match in the United Arab Emirates at the end of next month. This will be the fourth so-called battle of the sexes. American Bobby Riggs beat Australian Margaret Court in 1973, whereafter his compatriot Billie Jean King overpowered him a few months later. In 1992, American Jimmy Connors beat compatriot Martina Navratilova. Kyrgios says he has massive respect for Sabalenka, but had never backed down from a challenge.
