The Belarusian tennis sensation took to her Instagram on Friday and shared a couple of stories from her latest trip to Switzerland. While neither Sabalenka nor Frangulis can be seen in any of these pictures, the beauty of the place is evident. In the first story, Sabalenka shared a picture of probably a hotel room, in which a small couch could be seen.

In another story, the 26-year-old shared a video from the streets of Switzerland which can be seen receiving intense and heavy rainfall. Captioning the post, Sabalenka tagged her boyfriend Frangulis and wrote, “September…❄️😂.” Remember, this trip comes in the backdrop of the US Open victory of the tennis star where she defeated American sensation Jessica Pegula in straight sets 7-5, 7-5.

After winning the US Open, Sabalenka enjoyed a fun-filled evening with her team. Jason Stacy, the strength and conditioning coach of the player, shared a series of pictures of the celebration. In one of these pictures, Stacy can be seen pouring a bottle of champagne on Sabalenka, highlighting the mood the team was in, after the grand victory of the Belarusian star. But for now, Sabalenka seems to be enjoying some personal space along with her boyfriend. 

Remember, Sabalenka and Frangulis were rumored to date each other for a very long time until they finally confirmed their relationship through several adorable Instagram posts around May this year. One such cheeky situation came during the American hard court season as well

When Aryna Sabalenka made a blunder while talking about boyfriend

Aryna Sabalenka not just emerged victorious at the US Open, but also proved her mettle at the Cincinnati Masters before that. When asked how she manages to deliver interesting addresses and always remembers to thank everyone, Sabalenka was left in splits as she revealed her desire to improve her communication skills.

Speaking in the post-match interview after winning the Cincinnati Open, Sabalenka said, “I think I think I am the worst at speeches. I am the worst. I am getting so tight and nervous. I need to remember everyone, I need to, I need to make sure my English sounds good.” And this was witnessed soon when she thanked her boyfriend for his constant support.

The Belarusian depicted high regard for Frangulis but made a blunder in the process, although she realized it quickly. “Special thank you to my boyfriends… boyfriend. I said boyfriends, oh my gosh. That’s my terrible English guys,” Sabalenka said. For now, the couple is enjoying some much-needed break. It will be interesting to see if more pictures emerge out of their vacation. The fans will certainly want that.
