Without a doubt Nick Kyrgios is one of the best entertainers on the tennis court in the sport's history.

The young Australian signed up for various exhibition events during this off-season but he will play at least one also during the next season. Holger Rune enjoyed his breakthrough in 2022 as he defeated the 21-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic and won his first ATP 1000 title at the Paris Masters.

Moreover, he broke into Top 10 of the ATP Rankings after his triumph and when Danish fans were hungry to see the young Dane in their country before, now they're starving. And that's exactly what organizers of the Champions Battle 2023 made possible as Rune will take on Kyrgios on the 24th of May 2023 in Copenhagen.

Statement from the event organizers reads: "Finally, we can share what we have been working on! Holger Rune and Nick Kyrgios playing each other for the first time ever at Champions Battle 2023 in Royal Arena on the 24th of May 2023."

"Holger Rune has had a phenomenal 2022 season, his international breakthrough. He ended up winning three ATP tournaments; BMW Open, Stockholm Open, and Rolex Paris Masters. Latest beating legend Novak Djokovic."

"Now all Danish tennis fans have the opportunity to see the Danish tennis star playing on home soil. Holger Rune will be playing against the seven times ATP singles winner Australian Nick Kyrgios, who has made it to the finals in 11 tournaments including this year’s Wimbledon."
