Nick Kyrgios v Aryna Sabalenka live: Battle of the Sexes latest score and tennis match updates from controversial tennis exhibition today

Sabelenka looked like she was in the ascendancy for a period of that set but Kyrgios quickly seized his chance when it presented itself, with the Australian winning each of the last three games.

He’s sweating a fair bit and not moving as fluently though, though it hasn’t affected the match too much so far though.

We’re about to get underway in set two.

Kyrgios is looking to capitalise on this chance, approaching the net early on and racing into a 40-0 lead.

Set point for the Aussie, but he wastes the first one by firing long before the shot of the match so far from Sabalenka, who reaches a return and rifles it back down the line out of reach. Kyrgios stands there stunned!

However, Sabalenka falters at the net on the next point and Kyrgios takes the first set.

Well-worked from Kyrgios to win the first couple of points on his next serve, before a couple of unforced errors from Sabalenka take the Australian to within a game of the first set.

Sabalenka has fallen victim to the first-serve rule a few times already, though she makes up for the latest one with a lovely cross-court shot before a bit of fortune takes a return over via two touches on the top of the net!

40-15 to the world number one – but she finds the net with the first serve again, and then once more! We move to deuce.

Another return goes long to give Kyrgios the advantage, before Sabalenka fires into the net for 3-4.

Kyrgios quickly falls to 0-40 as we resume, with a failed drop shot from the Aussie taking it to break point.

Kyrgios saves it before Sabalenka fires wide to take it to 30-40, though he makes a mistake with a tame volley and the world number one capitalises to break again!

Two great returns from Kyrgios take him into a 30-15 lead, before Sabalenka is once again unlucky not to get over the net as she worked the Australian wide.

Kyrgios fires wide on the next point – a victim of the reduced court size – but he takes the game in the end as Sabalenka hooks over the byeline.

A couple of unforced errors from both players take it to 15-30 on Kyrgios’ serve, though Sabalenka pulls him out of position well before only managing to find the net. She looks irritated with that one!

Kyrgios follows it up with a fault though to give the world number one a chance to break – he goes aggressively to the net to secure the point though.

He goes short with a slice though, before Kyrgios loses the game by firing into the net!

Another fault from Sabalenka proves the Belarusian’s undoing, before Krygios rifles a straight return down the line for 0-40.

And another fault means Kyrgios takes the first break of the day.

Kyrgios starts mixing up his serves from the off and quickly takes his game, though Sabalenka provided a reminder of where the danger lies with a couple of superbly placed returns.

The Australian is moving a little gingerly at times, though it may be bravado at this early stage.

A couple of errors from both as we begin to take it to 15-all, before a lovely winner down the line from Sabalenka gives her the lead.

However, the world number one is the first victim of the one-serve rule, going long to take it level again.

She makes up for it next time out though, showing her power for the first time as she drags a cross-court backhand winner past Kyrgios.

And Sabalenka takes the first game as the Australian can only find the net with a return!
