Overview
- Speaking on Piers Morgan Uncensored, Aryna Sabalenka said trans women retain a “huge advantage” over women and called such competition “not fair.”
- Nick Kyrgios, who is set to face Sabalenka in an exhibition, said he feels “the exact same way” about the issue.
- The pair are scheduled for a modified “Battle of the Sexes” exhibition in New York, with Kyrgios limited to one serve and hitting toward a smaller side of the court.
- Coverage notes Sabalenka’s view aligns with Martina Navratilova’s long-held position on protecting competitive fairness in women’s sport.
- The WTA permits trans women to compete if eligibility criteria are met, and reports indicate no immediate changes to those rules.
