Four-time Grand Slam winner Aryna Sabalenka is all set to take on Nick Kyrgios in the Battle of the Sexes, in what is a biennial exhibition match played between a man and a woman, as the name suggests, or a doubles match between two men and as many women.
This will be the fourth major edition of the exhibition. The most iconic came in 1973, when a televised match at the Houston Astrodome saw 29-year-old Billie Jean King beat 55-year-old Bobby Riggs in straight sets.
Sabalenka will look to follow in the footsteps of her illustrious predecessor by taking on Kyrgios. As the two gear up for a clash for the ages, here is everything you need to know about the upcoming event:
