While the rules in this match will be in Aryna Sabalenka’s favor, most still believe that Nick Kyrgios needs to be dominant and he needs to win if he wants to maintain the reputation of men’s tennis.
Famous figures from the tennis scene, such as Greg Rusedskiresponded with divided opinions to this match. The former British number one believes that if fans want this match to really deliver what it needs to, the rules must be the same for everyone.
Rusedski focuses on Nick Kyrgios, who hasn’t played in three years, and is a little confused about how everything will play out and whether the Australian tennis player can be dominant against Aryna Sabalenka.
“For it to be a real Battle of the Sexes, the court dimensions have to be the same and it has to be tennis.
It can be one set, but it must be two services. The court size should be the same because that is the way tennis is played.
Is this more of an exhibition and will Kyrgios take her with him or will it be a real battle out there where they will compete well with each other? We don’t know.
Plus, Kyrgios hasn’t really toured for three years, so we don’t know how that’s going to turn out if he plays three full sets.” he said, as quoted by The Tennis Newspaper.
Rusedski shares his opinion
Rusedski ultimately pointed out that there are three options when watching this match: you like it, you don’t like it, or this is just a gimmick. He also emphasizes that this seems like a gimmick, stating that equal prizes should exist in both Grand Slam tournaments and the Masters Series WTA 1000 tournaments.
It is hoped that this match will give the fans everything they want, but looking at the participants in this match, there is no doubt that the match will be full of excitement.
