Aryna Sabalenka and her boyfriend, Georgios Frangulis, were seen doing a catwalk at the Italian Open. The couple has been together for more than a year, and the first time they made their relationship public was by holding hands in Italy in May last year.
Frangulis is a Brazilian race driver and an entrepreneur, and since their announcement of the relationship, he has been present at Sabalenka’s matches to cheer and support her.
The Belarusian won the Mutua Madrid Open for the third time in her career. She defeated World No. 3 Coco Gauff in the final in straight sets. Before that, she reached the final of the Stuttgart Open, where Jelena Ostapenko stopped her from claiming the title.

Sabalenka has been in a great rhythm on clay and has quickly adapted to the surface. She is the top seed at the Italian Open and a favourite to win the title. Last year, she recorded her best appearance in Rome, falling short against Iga Swiatek in the final.
The official Instagram handle of the tournament shared a clip of Sabalenka and her boyfriend doing a catwalk indoors in the vicinity. The couple were seen holding hands in the video, where Sabalenka prompted Frangulis by shaking his hand to do a catwalk, and he followed her lead. The clip was captioned:
“Any time is 𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙬𝙖𝙡𝙠 time 👸🤴”
The World No. 1 has received a first-round bye due to her ranking. She will either face Dayana Yastremska or Anastasia Potapova in the second round on May 9.
