It has been just hours since the fans witnessed a disappointing defeat for Aryna Sabalenka. Even after crossing notable milestones to make it to the finals, the tennis star had to go through a Madrid-like fate, losing to Iga Swiatek. While it was undoubtedly a concern, Sabalenka chose to see it with a positive eye as she took to share the dinner table with her coaching team and a special guest.
It hasn’t been long since Aryna Sabalenka was seen walking hand in hand with Georgios Frangulis. While speculations about them dating each other have been floating around since then, she recently dropped another hint as she was seen sitting by his side, having dinner after her final match in Rome. Soon after the picture started to catch the attention of Sabalenka’s fans on social media, many came forward to share their opinions on this new romance.
A true fan, seemingly being jealous after seeing the Belarusian holding hands with her rumored boyfriend, wrote, “Why he’s that dude always holding his hand”.
Sabalenka took time to thank Georgios for his support in her post-match speech. Pointing to that, a fan commented, “did yall not hear the shoutout at the end of her ceremony speech for him?”
To many, this rumored boyfriend is already old news. “It’s not news. He was with her in Madrid and has been on her box in Rome,” wrote another fan, pointing to the fact that Sabalenka has been seen with Frangulis before in Madrid.
A fan unleashed her humor to guess what’s currently going on in Sabalenka’s head. “Inside Aryna’s head: ‘How to say we’re dating without actually saying it? Gotcha!” she commented. Given the sad nature of her breakup with Konstantin Koltsov and his eventual death, Saba was likely wary of the criticism that she was sure would come her way no matter what she did.
One even referred to the Belarusian’s best friend, who also had a recent breakup with Stefanos Tsitsipas after a year of dating. “Paula and her in mode which of us will have the worst love story,” wrote another fan, making it seem like an imaginary comparison between Aryna Sabalenka and her best friend Paula Badosa about who will have the worst love story.
With these and several other comments introducing a blend of thoughts, the fans made it clear that her speculated boyfriend’s presence did not go unnoticed.
Aryna Sabalenka saves the softer side for her rumored boyfriend
Besides sharing the dinner table with Georgios Frangulis, Aryna Sabalenka also made sure to fulfill a promise she probably made to her speculated boyfriend. Soon after she lifted the runner-up trophy at the Italian Open, the Belarusian took a moment to troll her team with a cheeky statement.
“Of course last but not least I wanna thank my team for helping me lose another final,” she said, adding a layer of lightheartedness in the arena. While it was trolling for the team, the Belarusian’s cheeks turned red as she made a mention of her speculated boyfriend. “Just like I promised, thank you Georgios for your support,” she said, in a blushing tone.
Although neither of them has confirmed their relationship socially, the visible bond between them speaks enough for the fans to speculate things!
