Tennis fans, do you agree with Ellen and Steph on this one? 👀 ⁣ ⁣⁣ In episode 517 of “The GIST of It,” co-hosts Ellen Hyslop and Steph Rotz call an audible to discuss the upcoming “Battle of the Sexes.” On December 28, world No. 1 women’s tennis player Aryna Sabalenka will face formerly top-ranked and now No. 673 Nick Kyrgios in a highly anticipated exhibition match in Dubai.🎾⁣ ⁣ ⁣ The matchup is a callback to tennis legend Billie Jean King’s historic 1973 match against Bobby Riggs. 👀⁣ ⁣ ⁣ However, this contest doesn’t carry the same meaning. As King emphasized, “Ours was about social change; culturally, where we were in 1973. This one is not.” 🎤⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Sabalenka says it’s all about fun and great tennis, while King reminds us that women’s sports have never claimed to be “better than men”—just equal, and worthy of respect. 🙌⁣ ⁣ Tune into today’s episode of “The GIST of It”, available wherever you get your podcasts! 🎧⁣ ⁣⁣ #podcast #thegistofit #sports #tennis #battleofthesexes⁣
