Belarusian player Aryna Sabalenka found one of life’s most precious gifts last year, but it wasn’t a Grand Slam title! It was the love of her life, Oakberry’s CEO Georgios Frangulis. The couple has warmed the hearts of the fraternity with their playfully adorable chemistry. Strengthening their bond, Frangulis now accompanies the Belarusian on her tours, cheering for her success. Upon arriving in Brisbane, the couple enjoyed some romantic moments together, with Frangulis’ heartwarming comments reflecting how deeply they are proving to be each other’s better halves.

Sabalenka has reached Brisbane ahead of the 2025 Brisbane International tournament. Last year, she nearly missed out on winning the title after losing the finals to Elena Rybakina. Although she started the 2024 season with a mild heartbreak in Brisbane, she clinched the 2024 Australian Open title afterward and then the US Open title, making her season quite successful. Now, she is back in Brisbane, and this time her boyfriend, Oakberry’s CEO Georgios Frangulis also accompanied her in the land of kangaroos.

After reaching Brisbane, Sabalenka shared many photos on her Ig platform. From enjoying a post-Christmas dinner with Frangulis to a beautiful Brisbane sunset, and the couple’s romantic picture with the city in the backdrop, Sabalenka delighted her followers with her social media update. “Tis the season for silly couple’s pictures, good outfits, and great food,” she captioned her post. However, more than her pictures, what delighted her followers was her boyfriend’s adorable reaction. As soon as the Belarusian player shared the post, Frangulis was the first person to drop a comment. “Always silly never boring ♥️ te amo,” wrote Oakberry’s CEO expressing his love and admiration for his relationship with Sabalenka.

Interstingly, Sabalenka had a cheeky confession about Brisbane’s weather when she landed in the city. The WTA number one shared a photo on her IG profile while practicing on the court in Brisbane’s extremely hot weather. Taking a sarcastic dig at the 93F temperature, Sabalenka wrote how she “missed” this Australian weather. Her boyfriend also shared a reel capturing her practice for the tournament, which the WTA star reshared with three heart emojis in the caption.

From Sabalenka’s social media post, it felt as if the player and her beau were enjoying their Australia tour. Now, the Belarusian star has revealed her excitement about the tournament. Her words highlighted how prepared she is to fight for the Brisbane’s title she lost last year.

Aryna Sabalenka is “hungry” and “ready” for Australia

In a press conference before her participation at Brisbane International, Sabalenka revealed her confidence about playing in the country. “I feel fresh and ready to go. I love Australia and I always come here hungry and always come here ready. Ready as good as possible. The crowds are incredible here . I feel all the support here, and I think that’s the best thing about Australia, that people are really, really, into tennis,” she said. Not only that but she also revealed her significant memories from this WTA 500 tournament. “I have a lot of great memories from here and just can’t wait to start playing. Not the result I wanted at the end, but I’ll try my best this year,” Sabalenka concluded.

Aryna Sabalenka’s words echoed her renewed zeal and determination to fulfill her Brisbane dream. However, she is also enjoying her time in Australia with her beau showcasing how important it is to balance work and life to fulfill dreams.
