It is time for tennis fans to shift focus from the recently concluded US Open and look forward to the rest of the season. Along with them, the players, too, are trying to recuperate and regroup after a hectic schedule of the North American hard-court swing. US Open runner-up Aryna Sabalenka is certainly one of them.

The Belarusian WTA star had an incredible run in New York, but couldn’t cross the final hurdle as she was defeated by Coco Gauff in the finals. Almost 2 weeks after the final, Sabalenka seems to have moved on from the heartbreak, as can be made out from her recent Instagram activity. The Belarusian was seen at her vivacious best. Here is what her followers got to see.

Aryna Sabalenka brings out her effervescent self on social media

The 2023 Australian Open champion has always been quite active on social media. She has never shied away from providing updates about her activities and maintained a strong connection with her fans and followers. From posting pictures of her family to being open about her relationship with her boyfriend, Sabalenka has always been candid when it comes to being public about her personal life.

In her recent Instagram activity, fans got to see a jovial and cheerful side of Aryna Sabalenka. The Belarusian shared a video of herself using a fun TikTok filter that answers the question, ‘How toxic are you?’. As the filter predicted her to be ‘0%’ toxic, a joyous Sabalenka posted it on her Instagram story with the caption, ‘I knew it!!! 😂😂😂’.

Sabalenka’s newfound love for New York post US Open 2023

Despite losing out to Coco Gauff in a tight 3-setter in the US Open finals at the Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York, Sabalenka’s performance at the final major of the year was quite remarkable, to say the least. This propelled her to the top of the WTA rankings for the first time in her career.

Hence, developing a special place for New York City in her heart isn’t that surprising after all! She confirmed her love for the city in a recent Instagram story, where she revealed that if given an option, New York is the city she would choose to retire in.

With a successful US Open campaign behind her, an exuberant Aryna Sabalenka looks more than ready to begin her reign as the new number 1 in the women’s circuit.
