Nick Kyrgios made it clear that there is no debate. The Australian player won the Battle of the Sexes match by defeating Aryna Sabalenka with a score of 6-3 and 6-3 in 1 hour and 15 minutes of play. Although the world number one improved, she couldn't extend the match to dream of a possible comeback.

With introductions that could rival a boxing match, the Belarusian and the Australian hit the court eager to hit winning shots from both sides. While Kyrgios appreciated the removal of the second serve, a new rule in this event, Aryna didn't back down at first.

Nick wasted no time converting the evident pressure into points on the scoreboard, creating a gap that was hard to recover from by forcing Sabalenka to play defensively and returning deep into the court. Despite having the opportunity to widen the lead, Kyrgios' drop shots cost him dearly, unable to stop the response from the world number one.

Kyrgios keeps dropping them

Despite unleashing incredible shots, Aryna couldn't regain the lost ground, and Nick closed out that first set without too many problems, exposing the weaknesses of the Belarusian. Laughter and jokes turned into some frustration on Sabalenka's side.

The Belarusian found her smile back as she climbed back on the scoreboard, even daring to dance "La Macarena". The world number one's sensations improved considerably, but not enough to extend the match. She tried to fight back with powerful shots, but nothing could stop a determined Kyrgios.
