Battle of the Sexes 2025: Odds, Favorites
Sabalenka has had a dominant 2025, winning the U.S. Open and appearing as a finalist at the Australian Open and French Open. She also made it to the year-end WTA Finals and ends 2025 as the top women’s player in the world.
Kyrgios was once ranked as high as number 13 in the world, but the Australian star is currently down to 671 due to a lingering injury that has kept him off the courts from much of the last few years. Still, most oddsmakers have the 30-year-old as the favorite to win the Battle of the Sexes matchup.
Today’s match will be played as a best-of-three matchup with tiebreaks going to 10 points (if necessary). There are a few slight adjustments: players are only allowed one serve, and Sabalenka’s side of the court will be 9% smaller than her opponent’s.
