After a heart-wrenching semifinal loss at Wimbledon 2025, Aryna Sabalenka, the world’s top-ranked women’s tennis player, traded the grass courts of London for the sun-drenched shores of Mykonos, Greece. The 27-year-old Belarusian star, known for her fierce forehand and commanding presence on the court, embraced a well-deserved escape alongside her boyfriend, Brazilian entrepreneur Georgios Frangulis. Their romantic getaway, filled with beachside relaxation and intimate moments, captivated fans as Sabalenka shared glimpses of their idyllic retreat on social media, sparking a frenzy of admiration and commentary.
Sabalenka’s Instagram posts painted a vivid picture of their Mediterranean adventure. Lounging by a sparkling pool, she stunned in a metallic green thong bikini, exuding confidence and glamour. One striking photo captured her taking a mirror selfie, with Frangulis wrapping his arms around her, planting a kiss from behind—a moment that radiated affection. “Selfie, swim, read, repeat 🔁,” she captioned the post, her playful tone highlighting a carefree spirit. Another image showed the couple strolling arm-in-arm toward the seaside Spilla restaurant, their silhouettes framed against the azure backdrop of Mykonos. Sabalenka’s chic swimwear and relaxed demeanor underscored her ability to shine off the court as brilliantly as she does on it.
Frangulis, the founder of the global superfood brand Oakberry, has been a steadfast supporter since the couple began dating in early 2024. Their relationship, which blossomed during a sponsorship collaboration, has grown into a partnership filled with shared adventures and mutual admiration. Frangulis frequently joins Sabalenka at tournaments, cheering alongside her coach, Anton Dubrov, and fitness trainer, Jason Stacy. His heartfelt reactions to her off-court moments, like dropping a heart emoji on her stylish streetwear post in May 2025 or calling himself “lucky” during her Harper’s Bazaar beach shoot, reflect the depth of their bond. On this trip, he shared his own Instagram updates, posting affectionate snapshots that confirmed their blossoming romance.
The getaway came at a pivotal moment for Sabalenka, who faced a tough 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 defeat to American rising star Amanda Anisimova at Wimbledon. Despite the loss, Sabalenka remained gracious, thanking the tournament for “a special two weeks filled with great atmosphere and great opponents.” However, her decision not to mention champion Iga Swiatek by name in her post-match comments drew criticism from some fans, who urged her to acknowledge the victor. “Hey, why as number 1 in the world didn’t she send congratulations to Iga for her victory? 👏” one follower remarked, while others praised her resilience, with comments like, “You didn’t win Wimbledon, but you won my heart.” Sabalenka, undeterred, used the Mykonos escape to recharge, diving into the romance novel *Maybe In Another Life* by Taylor Jenkins Reid and embracing the island’s vibrant energy.
This wasn’t Sabalenka’s first headline-making getaway of 2025. After a dramatic French Open final loss to Coco Gauff in June, where she made 70 unforced errors in a 6-7(5), 6-2, 6-4 defeat, she jetted to Mykonos for a tequila-fueled retreat. “I already have [a] flight booked to Mykonos and alcohol, sugar,” she quipped post-match, vowing to unwind with “tequila, gummy bears, and swimming.” True to her word, she shared images of herself in a white two-piece bikini, sipping drinks and soaking up the sun with Frangulis. Fans were enchanted, with one cheekily noting, “A new bombshell just entered the villa,” referencing the reality show *Love Island*.
Sabalenka’s ability to balance intense competition with moments of joy has endeared her to millions. Her three Grand Slam titles—Australian Open 2023 and 2024, and US Open 2024—cement her as a tennis powerhouse, yet her off-court charisma, from glamorous photoshoots to playful yacht adventures, adds another layer to her appeal. As she prepares for the US Open, where she aims to defend her title, this Mykonos escape with Frangulis has recharged her spirit. “You know where to find me 😏🛥️,” she teased on Instagram, hinting at more sun-soaked moments before returning to the court. With Frangulis by her side and fans rallying behind her, Sabalenka is poised to make waves in New York.
