Do you remember the electrifying WTA Finals in Riyadh last year? After her gritty win over Qinwen Zheng there, Aryna Sabalenka followed it up with an emphatic straight-sets victory over Jessica Pegula, 6-3, 7-5. And, after that, she shared a fun photo dump on IG, captioning it, “Putting in the work @wtafinalsriyadh.” Fans poured in the support, but one comment stole the show! Her boyfriend, Georgios Frangulis, sweetly chimed in, “My loveeee .” Since going public with their relationship in April 2024, Sabalenka’s romance with Frangulis has flourished. Now, marking a full year together, the Brazilian entrepreneur once again showed up with love on Sabalenka’s special day.
A couple of days ago, during her 2025 Madrid Open participation, Sabalenka had a brief interview with BB Tennis. When asked about her birthday plans, the Belarusian delivered a humorous response. “I don’t know what I’ll wish for myself it seems to me just not to be afraid to be yourself that’s all and not to look at this scary number in the passport, so more botox,” she joked.
Days after that candid moment, Sabalenka’s 27th birthday became even more memorable as she clinched the Madrid Open title. Celebrating both a personal and professional milestone, her Brazilian partner, Georgios Frangulis, made sure the occasion was filled with love and pride. His heartfelt tribute acknowledged not only her birthday but also her incredible success on court, making the day extra special for the Belarusian.
On Monday, May 5, the Brazilian Georgios Frangulis marked Aryna Sabalenka’s 27th birthday with a touching tribute through 3 heartfelt IG Stories. Each post featured sweet messages blending English and Portuguese, showcasing the couple’s deep affection.
“Happy birthday meu amorzao da minha vida (the love of my life) @arynasabalenka,” Frangulis wrote in the first story. His second post, which included a nod to his Greek heritage, read, “Te amo (I love you) @arynasabalenka,”
The final post was especially sentimental, showing a tender moment between the couple as they shared a kiss following the Belarusian’s 2024 US Open triumph. Frangulis captioned the photo with, “Keep rocking meu amor (my love) 27th will be even better @arynasabalenka,” affirming his pride and optimism for her journey ahead.
Aryna Sabalenka and Georgios Frangulis have been together for about a year. Their relationship first grabbed headlines when fans spotted them together at the Madrid Open in April back in 2024.
Just a month later, the 3-time GS winner gave fans a subtle glimpse into her love life by sharing a picture with Frangulis during her visit to the ‘Haas F1’ team. In September 2024, she officially confirmed their relationship with a heartfelt IG post, marking a new chapter in both her personal and public life.
And as she now heads to the Italian Open, this year’s birthday already feels like an early gift.

A few days ago in Madrid, Sabalenka displayed her dominance once again, winning 17 consecutive points early in what turned out to be an error-filled clash against American Coco Gauff. Despite some turbulence in the second set, the Belarusian managed to save a set point before sealing a 6-3, 7-6(3) victory at the Caja Magica. With Iga Swiatek dropping points in Madrid and Gauff’s ongoing struggles with her serve under pressure, the Belarusian now stands as the clear frontrunner in the women’s game heading into the French Open.
Celebrating her 27th birthday in style, Sabalenka acknowledged the significance of the win: “This was an early birthday gift,” Sabalenka said. “We are definitely going out and we are going to have some drinks. I’m definitely going to have a tequila. I know Rome is coming, but it’s only one drink.”
The night of celebration in Madrid is well earned for Sabalenka, who pocketed €985,030 and added a crucial 1,000 ranking points, extending her lead over Swiatek to a commanding 4,345 points.
Now, with momentum on her side and her confidence soaring, all eyes turn to the Italian Open in Rome starting from 9th May. With the Madrid title in her pocket and a party night behind her, the question is, can the newly turned 27-year-old turn the Roman clay into her playground and collect another WTA 1000 title before taking her power game to Roland-Garros? What do you think?
