On December 29 in Dubai, a unique tennis match took place: Women’s world No.1 Aryna Sabalenka faced semi-retired men’s player Nick Kyrgios. Sabalenka lost 0-2, dropping two consecutive sets.
Considering the physical and strength advantage of male players, special rules were applied: Kyrgios’s court width was reduced by 9%, and both players had only one serve per point. Sabalenka quickly felt unprecedented pressure; in the first set, she held only her opening service game, while Kyrgios controlled the match and won three consecutive games after a 3-3 tie, taking the set 6-3.
In the second set, Kyrgios fell behind 1-3 but made rapid adjustments, unleashing a shocking 5-0 run to win 6-3 and secure the match. Legendary players such as Kaka and Ronaldo attended to witness this unique gender battle. Many fans noted that Kyrgios could have won with two 6-0 sets but spared Sabalenka some face.
After the match, Sabalenka showed resilience: “I think I fought hard, and he struggled at times too. If I play him again, I’ll have better strategies. I now understand his strengths and weaknesses. I love the feeling of revenge.”
