Nick Kyrgios finally is getting a chance to put his game where his mouth is.

The Australian, a frequent critic of women's tennis, will meet women's world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in an exhibition Dec. 28 in Dubai.

It will be the fourth so-called "Battle of the Sexes" among tennis players. Billie Jean King helped to popularize women's tennis when she defeated Bobby Riggs in three sets in 1973.

The Kyrgios-Sabalenka match was organized by Evolve, the agency that represents both players.

While Sabalenka is in top form, Kyrgios has played in just four 2025 tournaments and is 1-4. Ranked as high as No. 13 in 2016, injuries have forced his ranking to plummet to No. 652.

Speaking this year on a podcast with Alexander Bublik, ranked No. 13, Kyrgios said "women can't return our serves."
