The ATP and WTA seasons have officially ended, but many star names have committed to exhibitions before 2025 is over.
There is another edition of the Battle of Sexes, with ATP icon Nick Kyrgios taking on WTA number one Aryna Sabalenka.
The two players will meet in Dubai next month, with Kyrgios feeling the pressure over Sabalenka and what the match represents.
It certainly isn’t the only exhibition taking place in December, with Carlos Alcaraz and Venus Williams among the many high-profile players heading to the United States.

Where Carlos Alcaraz, Aryna Sabalenka and Venus Williams will play tennis in December
Four cities are set to host tournaments within a single week, with action taking place in Charlotte, New Jersey, New York City and Miami.
It starts with an all-American affair in Charlotte, where Taylor Fritz, Frances Tiafoe, Williams and Madison Keys are involved.
Shortly after that, Alcaraz, Tiafoe, Amanda Anisimova and Jessica Pegula will all play an event in New Jersey.

Sabalenka and Kyrgios are then also involved in a tournament in New York, where they will be joined by Naomi Osaka and Tommy Paul.
And the busy week of action concludes in Miami, where Alcaraz, Joao Fonseca, Anisimova and Pegula will take to the court.
Carlos Alcaraz can’t complain about the tennis schedule ahead of two more exhibitions
One notable aspect of the upcoming tournaments is the presence of world number one Alcaraz, not once but twice.
His upcoming appearances come despite Alcaraz complaining about the tennis schedule, having experienced another busy season.
Should Venus Williams be given a wildcard for the 2026 Australian Open?
The Spanish superstar only just took on the ATP Finals, where he narrowly lost out on the title to Jannik Sinner.
He played a mammoth 80 matches on the ATP Tour in 2025, and also took on the Six Kings Slam in Saudi Arabia, another exhibition tournament.
