Nick Kyrgios

Nick Kyrgios is an Australian tennis player, known for his talent and sometimes controversial on-court behavior. He is a former Wimbledon finalist. He is newsworthy due to his participation in a recent 'Battle of the Sexes' exhibition match against Aryna Sabalenka, the women's world number one. Kyrgios won the match 6-3, 6-3 in Dubai. Sabalenka has credited the match for improving her fitness ahead of the Grand Slam season. Despite his win against Sabalenka, Kyrgios is currently ranked 671st in the men's rankings and has missed out on an Australian Open wildcard, which was instead given to Stan Wawrinka. His current relevance stems from the attention generated by the 'Battle of the Sexes' match and his absence from the Australian Open.
