(AP/Getty Images) Australian tennis player Nick Kyrgios claimed that he would easily defeat the women’s world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in the proposed match “Battle of Sex” potentially planned for January in Hong Kong before the Australian Open.The exhibition match between two players was scheduled, but has not yet been confirmed.“He won’t beat me, do you really think I have to try 100 percent? Get to know her, it’s definitely a character,” Kyrgios said in an interview for YouTube with a men player for men Alexander Bubilik. “I think he’s a type of player who really thinks he’ll win.”When Kyrgios asked about his strategy, he said, “Our portions cannot return them and then we can only chip and drop a shot.”Kyrgios, currently on the 651th place in the world, was from his second loss to Miami Open in March for injuries. Thirty -year -old was Wimbledon finalist in 2022.
Sabalenek from Belarus holds three Grand Slam titles and is currently sitting at the top of the women’s world ranking.The proposed match attracts the parallels of the historical exhibition “Battle of the Sexes” from 1973, where Billie Jean King beat Bobby Riggs, an important moment in the Women’s Rights Movement.
