World No.1 Eyes Revenge and Rule Changes After Dubai Exhibition Defeat.

Aryna Sabalenka, the world No.1 women’s tennis player, has signalled that she wants a rematch against Nick Kyrgios after her defeat in the highly discussed Battle of the Sexes exhibition match in Dubai, according to sportblits.com.

The exhibition — which saw Sabalenka and Kyrgios compete under modified rules — ended with the Australian winning 6‑3, 6‑3 in a match that drew widespread attention and mixed reaction.

Sabalenka, known for her fierce competitive spirit, acknowledged the loss but made it clear she doesn’t want the result to stand. She expressed a strong desire to take on Kyrgios again, believing that with adjusted conditions, she could perform even better.

Highlights from her post‑match remarks include:

• “I love revenge” — Sabalenka said she would welcome another matchup with Kyrgios, showing her determination to even the score.
• She suggested possible rule changes for a future rematch — such as playing on a full‑size court and allowing two serves per point — to better balance the conditions.
• Sabalenka also noted that the experience gave her deeper insight into Kyrgios’s game, which she’d use to her advantage next time.

The Battle of the Sexes format has sparked debate among fans and pundits about fairness and its place in tennis — but Sabalenka’s focus remains on turning a loss into a competitive rematch opportunity.
