ARYNA SABALENKA VS KYRGIOS: WTA NO. 1 DEFENDS "BATTLE OF THE SEXES" EXHIBITION MATCH
Aryna Sabalenka hit back at critics, defending her upcoming exhibition match against Nick Kyrgios, stating the unique "Battle of the Sexes" event will grow women's tennis.
Aryna Sabalenka isn't buying the idea that her upcoming exhibition match with Nick Kyrgios will hurt women’s tennis.
The two are set to play on December 28th in Dubai, a match that's stirred up plenty of talk online.
This match is meant to recall the famous 1973 King-Riggs face-off, which drew a huge TV audience and was later called the Battle of the Sexes.
King's win over Riggs was a big step forward for women's tennis.
Since the match was announced, some have said it could take attention away from women's tennis. Sabalenka disagrees.
“I don’t think so,” the WTA world No. 1 told BBC Sport. I'm not risking anything. We're there to have a good time and play some great tennis. Whoever wins, wins.
“It's obvious men are generally stronger, but that's not the point. This event will only help raise the profile of women’s tennis.”
Sabalenka wrapped up 2025 with a US Open title and finished as runner-up at the WTA Finals in Riyadh.
She ended the year as No. 1, way ahead of Iga Swiatek.
Kyrgios is currently ranked No. 672, having played only five matches this year because of a wrist injury.
To level the playing field a bit, Sabalenka's side of the court will be smaller.
Also, both players only get one serve per point in the best-of-three match, with a tiebreak deciding the final set if needed.
“It won’t be easy for Nick,” Sabalenka added. “I’ll be competing hard and showing that women are strong, powerful, and entertaining. He’s in a tough spot. I'm in a good one.”
Kyrgios hasn’t played a pro singles match since Miami and is still dealing with a wrist issue.
He had wrist surgery in September 2023.
He recently played in the Garden Cup exhibition against Ben Shelton and Tommy Paul, losing both matches.
“Tennis doesn’t have this kind of buzz often, so when it does, it’s special,” said Kyrgios.
“We are helping tennis grow,” Sabalenka said, responding to critics. It’s fun, it’s a challenge, and I think that’s what people want to see.”
NOVAK DJOKOVIC LANDS IN ATHENS AFTER HISTORIC AUSTRALIAN OPEN RUNNER-UP FINISH
After a historic loss to Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic returns to his family in Athens to reset for the 2026 tennis season.
After losing his first Australian Open final to Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic just wanted to see his family.
Djokovic landed in Athens on Tuesday, wrapping up two weeks away from home and marking his 38th appearance in a major final.
For the first time ever, Novak walked away from Rod Laver Arena with the runner-up trophy. At 36, he became the oldest finalist in Australian Open history, but Alcaraz stopped him in four sets: 2-6, 6-2, 6-3, 7-5. The match lasted just over three hours.
This was Djokovic's first tournament in more than two months, and even so, he showed why people call him a legend. He cruised through the first three rounds and reached the last 16 without much fuss.
In the fourth round, Jakub Mensik had to pull out with an abdominal injury, so Novak got a walkover and saved some energy for the big matches ahead. But things nearly fell apart a few days later. Lorenzo Musetti took the first two sets in their quarterfinal, and for a moment, Djokovic looked like he might be headed home early. Then, out of nowhere, Musetti retired in the third set, and suddenly Novak was through to his 13th Australian Open semi-final.
Next up was Jannik Sinner, the two-time defending champ. Djokovic had to dig deep. Twice he came back from a set down and eventually won 3-6, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 after more than four hours on court. He fought off 16 out of 18 break points and weathered over 70 winners from Sinner, proving that belief really does go a long way. At 36, he marched into his 38th major final.
Djokovic left everything on court against Alcaraz. He started strong, but the Spaniard found his rhythm and took control in the second and third sets, racking up five breaks. In the fourth, Novak saved six break points early on and kept pace, even earning a break chance at 4-all. Then he missed a forehand he’d usually make, and just like that, his shot at a fifth set slipped away.
Alcaraz broke late in the set and sealed the win, handing Djokovic his first-ever loss in an Australian Open final. Now, Novak’s taking some time off to be with his family. He’s expected back on court soon, probably in Doha, but right now, only he knows how his schedule will look.
WHO IS SAMUEL LOPEZ? MEET THE COACH BEHIND CARLOS ALCARAZ’S 2026 AUSTRALIAN OPEN GLORY
Discover the touching moment Carlos Alcaraz saw coach Samuel Lopez receive a trophy after his Australian Open victory.
Carlos Alcaraz just pulled off something huge—he beat Novak Djokovic in four sets (2:6, 6:2, 6:3, 7:5) to win the Australian Open. With this win, he joins the legends of the Open era, becoming one of the rare players to snag at least one title at all four Grand Slams.
Here’s the wild part: Alcaraz is just 22. Actually, he turns 23 on May 5, so he’s still got plenty of time. This marks his seventh Grand Slam title already. For a bit of perspective, Djokovic had only one Grand Slam trophy at Alcaraz’s age.
Since he’d never won the Australian Open before, Alcaraz didn’t really know the drill for the trophy ceremony. His coach, Samuel Lopez, got a trophy too, which caught Carlos off guard—in a good way. Their partnership has clearly paid off.
Talking to the media, Alcaraz said he loved that coaches get recognised with their own trophy. He hadn’t seen that before and thought it was a fantastic idea, since a champion’s journey isn’t a solo effort. Watching Samuel Lopez get his moment meant a lot to him. “It’s wonderful, and when I saw him there, I was so happy because I know Samuel has been working toward this moment his whole life. For me, he’s one of the best coaches—if not the best—you can have on a tennis court today. For me, it was a magical and incredibly special moment: hugging him after the last point and also seeing him there, with everyone recognising what he deserves,” Alcaraz said.
Not everyone was convinced after Alcaraz split with long-time coach Juan Carlos Ferrero and started working with Lopez. Some experts doubted whether he could keep dominating the tour this year. But after Melbourne, it looks like Alcaraz isn’t going anywhere. Even without Ferrero, he’s still leading the pack.
With three more Grand Slams coming up this season, it’s shaping up to be a wild ride. You get the feeling that we’ll be watching Alcaraz and Sinner battling for the biggest prizes all year long.
