The women's world number one was beaten in straight sets by the Australian during last weekend's clash in Dubai but has revealed that she would prefer to have two serves if she gets the chance to take on the former Wimbledon finalist again.

Sabalenka said: "I think I would definitely do it again. I love revenges and I don't like to leave it the way it is.

"And I think for the next match we'll come up with a different format because before the match, I didn't realise that I have to adjust as well and it was a bit tricky for me as well.

"I think that I would still keep the full court for Nick, but I would take two serves, that would even our level a bit more.

"As I always say, you're not losing, you're learning. And I learned a lot about this game.

"Now I know better Nick as a player and as a person as well, so I feel like I know how to play against him.

"We will do it again, I need the revenge."

Sabalenka's side of the court was cut in size by nine per cent for the three-set battle, with both players restricted to one serve per point rather than the usual two under the modified rules, but the four-time major winner is happy that she pushed Kyrgios hard.

She said: "I'm happy that I was able to challenge him and make him work and make him physically get tired and mentally also get tight.

"I saw that and I felt really excited to see a man getting tight and going for his full game."
