This Sunday at 11 am ET in Dubai, the tennis spotlight turns to an exhibition showcase as Nick Kyrgios takes on Aryna Sabalenka in a modern 'Battle of the Sexes' showdown.
Sunday's exhibition between Nick Kyrgios and Aryna Sabalenka offers a modern, rule-adjusted take on the 'Battle of the Sexes' concept. Unlike the historic 1973 match—where Billie Jean King's decisive win over Bobby Riggs on a standard court became a pivotal moment in the fight for tour equality and equal pay—this contest is purely a spectacle, separate from the official tours.
Of course, where there are two or more competing, no matter what their genders, there will be wagering. BetOnline.ag has set odds for the match, and also created a few interesting prop bets surrounding the spectacle.
