Aryna Sabalenka Announces Engagement to Georgios Frangulis

World number one Aryna Sabalenka is engaged to Georgios Frangulis, sharing the joyous news with a video of the proposal posted on Instagram. The engagement follows a playful exchange earlier this year where Sabalenka playfully put her boyfriend under a little pressure to propose.

A Proposal She’d Been Hinting At

The 27-year-old tennis star posted pictures and a video showcasing the moment Frangulis proposed with an engagement ring. “You & me, forever,” she captioned the post, adding a ring and heart emoji.

“Of course I had no idea this would happen tonight,” Sabalenka wrote on Instagram.

Playful Pressure During Brisbane Victory

Sabalenka had subtly hinted at her desire for an engagement earlier this season. During her victory speech at the Brisbane International tournament in January, she playfully addressed Frangulis, saying, “Thanks to my friend. Hopefully I can call you something else soon, right?” She then added with a laugh, “I’ve put extra pressure on now, right?”.

Congratulations Pour In From the Tennis World

The announcement quickly garnered congratulations from fellow athletes. Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz, both prominent figures in tennis, were among those offering their well wishes. Ski racer Lindsey Vonn also extended her congratulations.

Looking Ahead: Indian Wells and Beyond

The engagement comes as Sabalenka prepares for the Indian Wells tournament, a significant event on the tennis calendar. She recently competed at the Australian Open, where she lost to Elena Rybakina in the final on January 31.

Sabalenka is a four-time Grand Slam champion, having won the Australian Open in 2023 and 2024, and the U.S. Open in 2024 and 2025.

The engagement marks a significant personal milestone for the world number one as she continues her impressive career in professional tennis.
