The match between Aryna Sabalenka and Nick Kyrgios in the Battle of the Sexes, which will take place at the end of this month, is attracting a lot of public attention. For years, there has been talk of a match like this, in which female and male tennis players will face each other. The names meeting this time are particularly interesting – Aryna Sabalenka and Nick Kyrgios.
In addition to fans and active tennis players, experts are also looking forward to this match, considering that this is a great promotion of both men's and women's tennis, and an excellent indicator of the cohesion between the women's and men's categories.
Aryna Sabalenka and Nick Kyrgios showed mutual respect, expecting this match to bring everything the fans want and at the same time hope for a win.
Ben Shelton, one of the greatest talents in the world of tennis, will also follow this match. Speaking to Front Office Sports, he shared his excitement, aware that Nick Kyrgios has a tough task ahead of him, although some predict differently.
Nick Kyrgios will only be allowed one serve, and besides, the court will be smaller for him by 9%. This is the reason why the fans are especially excited and expect one of the most interesting matches in the last few years.
“I was with both of them last weekend and it’s going to be tough for him.
You know, he has a court that I think is, I think, 9% smaller. He only has one serve, she has two. And obviously, she’s the best player in the world right now. She’s very strong from the baseline.
You’re taking away the weapon of his first serve. So I think it’s going to be an interesting match. It’s definitely something I would tune into.”- Shelton said.
The qualities of Nick Kyrgios and Aryna Sabalenka
The Belarusian tennis player is currently one of the best in the world, while Nick Kyrgios has not been at his top level for a long time, both due to injuries and lack of motivation.
However, we don't have to talk too much about the qualities of the Australian tennis player, because Kyrgios was one of the most important figures in the world of tennis a few years ago.
Kyrgios was careful in his interviews, saying that he should not put the role of favorite on his shoulders, given that Aryna Sabalenka is one of the greatest female tennis players in the history of this sport.
