- In a Piers Morgan Uncensored appearance, Aryna Sabalenka said trans women have a “huge advantage” and that it is not fair for women to face “biological men.”
- Nick Kyrgios endorsed Sabalenka’s position during the same interview, saying he felt “the exact same way.”
- The pair were promoting their December 28 Dubai exhibition, which will feature a 9% smaller court for Sabalenka and a one-serve rule for both players.
- Sabalenka told the BBC the match will not harm women’s tennis and argued the showcase could help raise the women’s game.
- Commentators have condemned the event and the players’ remarks, while organizers press on and the WTA has not revised its gender-participation policy.
