Aryna Sabalenka has a unique ability to turn heads through her incredible photoshoots with trophies in her hand. We saw that earlier this year at the Australian and now, she did the same in Cincinnati. Posing with the trophy, she stunned her boyfriend and ‘soulmate‘ Paula Badosa with a stunning makeover after emphatic triumph.
Sabalenka successfully lifted her second title of the season at the Cincinnati Masters by defeating Jessica Pegula by 6-3,7-5 in the finals. Speaking about this title-winning run, the Belarusian tennis star revealed that she’s “super happy” with the result. “This trophy means a lot, it is a really big achievement, especially coming after injury, with this fear of getting injured again,” said Sabalenka.
Her boyfriend, Georgios Frangulis, witnessed this special moment from the stands. He was delighted with her win and later on, he came up with a post on Instagram captioning, “Much, much deserved (my love) (Somehow you look even prettier with that Trophy smile) @arynasabalenka.” He even posed with the champion and later posted that photo on his Instagram account captioning, “Holding couple trophies.”

Sabalenka’s boyfriend even thanked her fitness coach for shielding their kiss from the camera. However, their love for each other was yet again portrayed on social media when Aryna Sabalenka posted a photo of her holding the Cincinnati Open trophy in beautiful black attire. She captioned the photo, “Cincinnati, I love you!“
Frangulis commented on the post, “In love with a champ,“ to which, Saba replied, “More than anything else.” Even the Spanish star, Badosa commented on the post with a series of emojis to portray her love for her ‘soulmate’s‘ emphatic triumph. Just like Badosa, even Frangulis has now become an integral part of Sabalenka’s support system
