Billie Jean King Says Sabalenka–Kyrgios ‘Battle Of The Sexes’ Isn’t About Social Change

King said the only link between her 1973 clash with Bobby Riggs and the upcoming Aryna Sabalenka–Nick Kyrgios exhibition is “one is a boy and one is a girl.” Her straight-sets 6-4 6-3 6-3 win then was about social change and equality. She hopes Sabalenka wins in Dubai but stresses this version “is just not the same” for women’s tennis.
