As the 2025 Wimbledon Championships unfold on the pristine grass courts of the All England Club, world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka is not only chasing her first Wimbledon title but also sharing heartwarming behind-the-scenes moments with her biggest supporter, boyfriend Georgios Frangulis. The Brazilian entrepreneur, known for founding the global superfood brand Oakberry, has become a familiar face in Sabalenka’s player box, cheering her on and documenting their journey with a playful charm that has endeared them to fans. From romantic gestures to lighthearted social media posts, Frangulis is proving to be the perfect partner for the Belarusian star, both on and off the court.
Sabalenka, a two-time Australian Open champion and 2024 US Open winner, has been in scintillating form at Wimbledon 2025, powering into the third round with a 7-6(4), 6-4 victory over Marie Bouzkova on July 4. Her thunderous groundstrokes and relentless energy have made her a favorite to lift the Venus Rosewater Dish, but it’s her off-court joy that’s capturing hearts. Frangulis, 36, has been by her side throughout the tournament, offering unwavering support and sharing glimpses of their bond. “His support means so much to me,” Sabalenka told reporters, reflecting on how Frangulis helps her navigate the grueling tennis tour. “Being on the road and having him support me, to make me laugh and to be able to work out together, makes life on the road feel more like home.”
Their relationship, which went public in April 2024, has blossomed into a true partnership. Frangulis, born in São Paulo to Greek parents, founded Oakberry in 2016, turning it into a global phenomenon with over 700 stores across 40 countries, specializing in açaí bowls and smoothies. His entrepreneurial spirit mirrors Sabalenka’s drive, and their shared passion for fitness—Frangulis is also a motorsport enthusiast who has competed in 128 Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge races—has strengthened their bond. “There was a really tough period where I was really happy to have him by my side, always cheering me up, always making sure that we are doing some fun stuff,” Sabalenka said, recalling how Frangulis helped her through a shoulder injury that forced her to miss Wimbledon 2024 and a quarterfinal loss at the French Open. His positivity, she noted, helps her “forget about tennis and focus on the good things and enjoy my life.”
Frangulis’s Instagram stories have become a fan favorite, offering candid snapshots of Sabalenka’s Wimbledon journey. From her practice sessions with Novak Djokovic, where he jokingly captioned a video with a sarcastic nod to the Serbian legend, to playful moments like giving Sabalenka a piggyback ride, Frangulis brings levity to her high-stakes campaign. After her 2024 US Open win, he posted, “I’m in love with the queen of NY,” alongside photos of them kissing with her trophy, a moment that went viral. Sabalenka reciprocated, calling his support “priceless” during her Brisbane International victory speech in January 2025. Their chemistry was evident again in Melbourne, where they shared a kiss on court after her Australian Open semifinal run, despite a loss to Madison Keys.
The couple’s story is not without its challenges. Sabalenka faced personal tragedy with the death of her ex-boyfriend, Konstantin Koltsov, in March 2024, which she described as an “unthinkable tragedy.” Frangulis, who survived thyroid cancer in 2016, has been a pillar of strength, helping her balance her career and personal life. “I was super emotional and not very smart at that press conference,” Sabalenka admitted after a controversial French Open loss to Coco Gauff, where she later apologized for her remarks. Frangulis’s presence, including lighthearted moments like meeting Jackie Chan after her Australian Open defeat, has kept her grounded. Their shared love for Oakberry—Sabalenka became a brand ambassador in January 2024 and launched her “Power Serve Bowl”—adds a professional synergy to their romance.
As Sabalenka faces Emma Raducanu in the third round on July 4, 2025, with a potential showdown against Marketa Vondrousova looming, Frangulis will be courtside, camera in hand, capturing every moment. Fans on social media are buzzing about their “adorable” dynamic, with one calling Frangulis “the ultimate hype man.” With a net worth estimated at $75-100 million and a shared passion for excellence, this power couple is redefining love in the spotlight, proving that behind every champion is a partner who makes the journey unforgettable.
