It is now official: on December 28, Aryna Sabalenka and Nick Kyrgios will face off in a mixed exhibition match in Dubai.
While the event had been announced by both players, no date had been communicated until now. But as of this Tuesday, November 4th, it is confirmed: the Australian and the Belarusian will compete in the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai for what will be called the "Battle of the Sexes."

A match that will therefore take place eleven years after the one between Djokovic and Li Na in 2013.
Finally, while Sabalenka has been performing very well on the courts, Kyrgios, for his part, has not played a singles match since Miami last March. So, it remains to be seen what this unprecedented exhibition will bring.
