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. While the world number one improved, she couldn't extend the match to dream of a possible comeback.
After introductions worthy of a boxing match, the Belarusian and the Australian took to the court eager to hit winning shots from both sides. Although Kyrgios appreciated the removal of the second serve, a new rule in this event, Aryna did not give in easily.
Nick quickly materialized the evident pressure in the score, creating a gap that was difficult to recover, forcing Sabalenka to switch to a defensive stance and making precise returns from deep within 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 shots
Despite delivering incredible shots, Aryna was unable to regain lost ground, and Nick closed out that first set with relative ease, exposing the weaknesses of the Belarusian. Laughter and jokes turned into some frustration on Sabalenka's side.
As she climbed back on the scoreboard, the Belarusian regained her smile, even daring to dance the "Macarena." The feelings of the world number one considerably improved, though not enough to prolong the match. She tried to fight back with powerful shots, but nothing could stop a determined Kyrgios.
