The ‘Battle of the Sexes’ exhibition match between Aryna Sabalenka and Nick Kyrgios will be shown live on BBC One on 28 December.
World number one and four-time Grand Slam singles champion Sabalenka will face former Wimbledon runner-up Kyrgios in Dubai.
Belarusian Sabalenka has been the dominant player on the WTA Tour for the past two years, winning two Australian Open and two US Open titles.
Australian Kyrgios, 30, reached the Wimbledon final in 2022 but has played only five matches in 2025 after a lengthy lay-off with a wrist injury.
The match will take place over three sets, with a 10-point deciding tie-break if needed.
