Aryna Sabalenka and Nick Kyrgios' 'Battle of the Sexes' match has sparked debate, with Laura Robson and Tim Henman questioning whether it is needed for the sport.
The match will take place at Dubai's Coca-Cola Arena on December 28 and will pit the women's world No 1 against the former Wimbledon finalist.
Sabalenka is the reigning US Open champion, while Kyrgios - who has not played an ATP Tour match since his second-round exit at the Miami Open in March - is currently ranked 652nd in the world after injury struggles.
