Aryna Sabalenka’s Greek Getaway: Sunshine, Smiles, and Romance After US Open Triumph
World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka, fresh off her second straight US Open title on September 7, 2025—where she bested Amanda Anisimova 6-3, 7-6(3)—skipped the China Open due to a minor injury and jetted to Greece for a dreamy vacation with boyfriend Georgios Frangulis, the Brazilian-Greek founder of Oakberry. Her Instagram post on September 22, captioned “Greece you have my heart ❤️” with heart-hands emojis, offered fans a glimpse of pure bliss through stunning photos that racked up over 500,000 likes in days. The images, blending beachy vibes, romantic moments, and cultural exploration, have sparked a frenzy on X and beyond, with fans gushing over her well-earned joy.
The Photos: A Snapshot of Happiness
Sabalenka’s Greek adventure, her third in 2025, showcases a softer side of the 27-year-old tennis titan. Here’s what stood out:
– **Bikini Vibes and Coastal Chic**: Sabalenka radiated confidence in a red bikini against Greece’s turquoise waters and rugged cliffs, with one windswept shot capturing her post-US Open glow. Another poolside moment in a gingham two-piece, accessorized with layered necklaces, screamed laid-back glamour.
– **Love in the Limelight**: The highlight? A tender sunset kiss with Frangulis, Sabalenka rocking loose white pants over her swimsuit and shades atop her head. Their chemistry, evident since their April 2024 romance began, melted hearts, with X users dubbing them “couple goals.”
– **Greek Culture and Scenic Serenity**: From posing at the Temple of Poseidon in Sounion to savoring seafood at seaside tavernas, Sabalenka soaked up Greece’s history and cuisine. These nods to her love for cultural immersion echo her 2024 Greek trips, where she raved about gyros and the Acropolis.
Fan and Social Media Buzz
The tennis world and beyond ate it up. X posts like @Cooperativa’s “paradíacas vacaciones” (34K views) and @simp4hya’s “enjoyyyy, our earthy hyaboo 🤍” captured the mood, while Greek media celebrated her love for their country: “Tennis Champion Aryna Sabalenka’s Romantic Holidays in Greece.” Fans urged her to “keep slaying” and return stronger for the WTA Finals, with minimal shade—mostly playful bikini envy.
Context and What’s Next
Sabalenka’s Greek escape follows a stellar 2025: titles in Brisbane, Miami, Madrid, and the US Open, plus finals at the Australian Open, Indian Wells, Stuttgart, and Roland Garros. Her China Open withdrawal was a rare breather before the WTA Finals (November 2-9) and a 2026 Australian Open defense push. For now, these photos—bursting with joy, love, and Greek sunlight—show a champion recharging her soul, ready to swing back fiercer than ever.
