Let’s start with something positive. It is somewhat of a testament to the strength of Aryna Sabalenka’s character, as a four-time grand slam champion and the dominant world No 1 in women’s tennis, that immediately after losing 6-3 6-3 to a shuffling, clearly unfit Nick Kyrgios, she asked for the opportunity to try again. But no, please no. We do not need to see another rendition of this circus, promoted as a ”Battle of the Sexes”.
Beyond the ugly court and the TV feed from Dubai that broke down and produced a garbled picture, the spectacle was unwatchable, too.
