PICTURES: Aryna Sabalenka turns up the style in yellow bikini while enjoying boyfriend Georgios' company in Miami

Aryna Sabalenka stunned in a yellow bikini as she recovered in Miami ahead of her US Open title defense. She was accompanied by her boyfriend and Oakberry Acai founder, Georgios Frangulis, a constant on the Belarusian's tour.

Aryna Sabalenka had shyly missed out on three Grand Slam titles this year, losing to Madison Keys in the Australian Open finals, succumbed to Coco in the Roland Garros finals, and to Amanda Anisimova in the Wimbledon semifinals. Ahead of the US Open, where she won her first Flushing Meadows title in 2024, the Belarusian has been enjoying a much-deserved retreat.

Following her Canadian Open withdrawal citing fatigue, Sabalenka has been recovering in Miami, alongside her boyfriend Frangulis. In an Instagram story, she was posing in a yellow bikini with the latter's reflection visible on the glass, confirming he was the one photographing.

In the inset, Sabalenka was seated in an ice bath wearing the same outfit, suggesting it was part of her recovery routine.

Aryna Sabalenka is one of the fiercest players on the tour, sitting atop at No. 1. Despite surpassing 12,000 points, the first female to do so since Serena Williams in 2015, she has missed multiple title-winning opportunities this year, often expressing her distress in on-court interviews and press conferences.

As per a recent conversation, the 27-year-old shared the harsh reality of being an athlete, as they're only allowed to be happy when they post good results.

"I think it’s important to go and have fun and enjoy life. But it’s so fu****g annoying about being an athlete, honestly. All your life depends on your result. You win and you are the happiest person that you can be. You just enjoy, life feels so good. But when you lose it’s just tough to enjoy."

Aryna Sabalenka was the first Belarusian player to win a major singles title at the 2023 Australian Open since Victoria Azarenka a decade ago. She also repeated the latter's feat by claiming the top spot in the WTA rankings that year.
