The ‘Battle of the Sexes’ exhibition match between Aryna Sabalenka and Nick Kyrgios will be shown live on BBC One on 28 December.<\/p>\n

World number one and four-time Grand Slam singles champion Sabalenka will face<\/a> former Wimbledon runner-up Kyrgios in Dubai.<\/p>\n

Belarusian Sabalenka has been the dominant player on the WTA Tour for the past two years, winning two Australian Open and two US Open titles in her career to date.<\/p>\n

Australian Kyrgios, 30, reached the Wimbledon final in 2022 but has played only five matches in 2025 after a lengthy lay-off with a wrist injury.<\/p>\n

The match will take place over three sets, with a 10-point deciding tie-break if needed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The ‘Battle of the Sexes’ exhibition match between Aryna Sabalenka and Nick Kyrgios will be shown live on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":295281,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[101,118,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-295280","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-sports","tag-tennis","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/295280","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=295280"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/295280\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/295281"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=295280"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=295280"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=295280"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
