As tennis season beckons, players are taking full advantage of their off-seasons while simultaneously gearing up for new challenges. Aryna Sabalenka and Georgios Frangulis, in particular, have made headlines by setting relationship goals. After an exceptional 2018 with two Grand Slam victories and becoming World No. 1, Aryna is in Brisbane preparing to defend her World No.1 rank; her efforts will receive tremendous assistance from Frangulis during preparations.
Recently on social media, Frangulis shared an update showcasing Sabalenka’s intense practice session on Australia’s hard courts; showing his support. Sabalenka quickly responded positively by sharing it on her own account via her own story; another instance where their affection and support openly shown towards each other.
Sabalenka’s remarkable achievements, including her title win at the US Open, have always been celebrated by Frangulis. He proudly declared his admiration for “the Queen of NY” online, to which Sabalenka expressed how fortunate she feels to have his unwavering support. The couple, who began dating in early 2024, have continuously shown mutual support. Sabalenka has even collaborated with Frangulis’ superfood brand, Oakberry, further intertwining their professional and personal lives.
As Sabalenka strives for greater success in 2025, she recognizes there’s still room for development. Even with victories at US Open and Australian Open tournaments as well as Cincinnati and Wuhan championship titles already under her belt, Sabalenka still believes there’s room to improve various aspects of her game and utilize her time in Brisbane as a test run before returning for defence of Australian Open title in January.
Sabalenka plans on entering her second season stronger with goals of improving her net game, touch, and serve. Her journey, led by Frangulis’ support will certainly be one to watch as she strives for further achievements within her already impressive career.
