Aryna Sabalenka wished sister Tonechka on her birthday and also expressed love for her younger sibling.
Tonechka, despite being a celebrity sibling of the reigning Australian Open champion, likes to keep a low profile. However, Sabalenka, who is quite active on social media, mentions Tonechka from time to time.
Not much is known about Tonechka’s birthday and age, as she has chosen to keep almost the entirety of her life private. However, Sabalenka, being a loving elder sister, sent her birthday wishes to Tonechka with a caption, which also featured a handful of love emojis.
“Happy birthday my beautiful sis. Love you so much,” Sabalenka wrote in an Instagram post.
Tonechka and Aryna were born to father Sergey Sabalenka, who was a former ice hockey player, and mother Juliya. Their father died in 2019 due to meningitis complications at the age of 43 — an incident which had a profound effect on the current World No. 2’s life.
In 2023, Sabalenka also honored Tonechka’s wish on the tennis court. The moment came after the 25-year-old’s second-round win against Camila Osorio at the Madrid Open. According to Sabalenka, she had promised to greet Tonechka on camera, and during the post-match on-court interview, she did exactly that.
“I promised my sister to say ‘Hi’ to her, so ‘Hi Tonya, I love you and I miss you’,” Sabalenka said.
