Aryna Sabalenka might have narrowly missed out on the Australian Open title recently, but the World No 1 had far happier news to share this week. The 27-year-old announced her engagement to boyfriend Georgios Frangulis on Wednesday, delighting fans around the world.

Sabalenka posted a video on social media capturing the romantic proposal. In an intimate setting filled with flowers and candles, Frangulis presented her with a diamond ring during a private celebration.

The tennis star appeared visibly surprised and emotional as she said yes, with the couple later sharing the moment online.

The announcement drew warm reactions from across the tennis community, including congratulatory messages from players including Novak Djokovic.

Sabalenka and Frangulis made their relationship public in May 2024, and it has attracted attention ever since. During the Brisbane International in January during a post-match interview she jokingly said, “Thank you to my boyfriend. Hopefully soon I’ll call you something else, right?”

Over the past year, their relationship has unfolded publicly. Frangulis, founder of the Oakberry brand, has often shared supportive messages about Sabalenka. After her triumph at the US Open, he posted on Instagram, “I’m in love with the queen of NY.”
