Sabalenka<\/a> said: \u201cI have so much respect for Billie Jean King and what she has done for the women’s game. I’m proud to represent women’s tennis and to be part of this modern take of the iconic Battle of the Sexes match. <\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/4WH6H3UWKJF3FADWUH5VZEMUFI.png\")

“Dubai is my home, and I know this city loves big, entertaining events. I have a lot of respect for Nick and his talent, but make no mistake, I’m ready to bring my A-game. I can’t wait to step on that court at the Coca-Cola Arena and put on an incredible show for the fans.”<\/p>\n
Kyrgios, never one to shy away from a challenge, said: “When the world No 1 challenges you, you answer the call. I’ve got massive respect for Aryna; she’s a powerhouse and a true champion. But I’ve never backed down from a challenge, and I’m not just here to play – I’m here to entertain. This is what I live for. Dubai, get ready for a show, because I’m going to bring the heat at the Coca-Cola Arena”.<\/p>\n
It will be a memorable debut event for TLive, who are organising the match in partnership with IM8, the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET) and the Coca-Cola Arena.<\/p>\n
