Aryna Sabalenka has a unique ability to turn heads through her incredible photoshoots with trophies in her hand. We saw that earlier this year at the Australian and now, she did the same in Cincinnati. Posing with the trophy, she stunned her boyfriend and ‘soulmate‘ Paula Badosa with a stunning makeover after emphatic triumph.
Sabalenka successfully lifted her second title of the season at the Cincinnati Masters by defeating Jessica Pegula by 6-3,7-5 in the finals. Speaking about this title-winning run, the Belarusian tennis star revealed that she’s “super happy” with the result. “This trophy means a lot, it is a really big achievement, especially coming after injury, with this fear of getting injured again,” said Sabalenka.
Her boyfriend, Georgios Frangulis, witnessed this special moment from the stands. He was delighted with her win and later on, he came up with a post on Instagram captioning, “Much, much deserved (my love) (Somehow you look even prettier with that Trophy smile) @arynasabalenka.” He even posed with the champion and later posted that photo on his Instagram account captioning, “Holding couple trophies.”
Sabalenka’s boyfriend even thanked her fitness coach for shielding their kiss from the camera. However, their love for each other was yet again portrayed on social media when Aryna Sabalenka posted a photo of her holding the Cincinnati Open trophy in beautiful black attire. She captioned the photo, “Cincinnati, I love you!“
Frangulis commented on the post, “In love with a champ,“ to which, Saba replied, “More than anything else.” Even the Spanish star, Badosa commented on the post with a series of emojis to portray her love for her ‘soulmate’s‘ emphatic triumph. Just like Badosa, even Frangulis has now become an integral part of Sabalenka’s support system
The couple was spotted together at this year’s Madrid Open and then later on, during the Italian Open Sabalenka made her relationship with Frangulis public. She blew a kiss towards him during her runner-up speech. Even, in Cincinnati she shared a few words about him during her on-court speech.
“Special thank you to my boyfriends…” – Aryna Sabalenka’s hilarious slip of the tongue during her victory speech
After her comprehensive victory against Pegula, Sabalenka was on cloud nine. She was happy to get back on the winning track ahead of the US Open. Sabalenka thanked her team for their enormous support in her tough days and for helping her to become a better player. She further extended her speech by adding, “Special thank you to my boyfriends… boyfriend, I said ‘boyfriends’ oh my god, that’s my terrible English guys. Thank you to my boyfriend for keeping me happy every day, thank you.” This was quite a hilarious moment for all the tennis fans, but they thoroughly enjoyed her performance in Cincinnati.
Keeping our focus on enjoyment, Sabalenka witnessed a similar moment of joy (if not more) after winning the Australian Open earlier this year. Her stunning look with the Daphne Akshurst Memorial Cup in Carlton Gardens made a similar headline in January. She wore a stunning cream knit dress with fringe details to mark the special occasion. Her lovely lilac dress with floral details by Zimmermann turned the heads of several fans in the tennis world. Sabalenka’s elegant smile while posing for pictures, made it look more stunning.
How will this tennis beauty celebrate this emphatic Cincinnati triumph, though? In reply to this question, she said, “It has to be a tequila. You have to try a margarita, that’s the best drink.” Share your thoughts on Aryna Sabalenka’s incredible title-winning run in Cincinnati.
