Does Aryna Sabalenka's celebration with her boyfriend show the importance of personal life in sports success?

How would you celebrate winning a Grand Slam? Well, different people might have different answers. But for Aryna Sabalenka, the newly crowned US Open champion, it’s all about taking a well-deserved break from the court and soaking in the moment with a vacation along with her boyfriend Georgios Frangulis.

The Belarusian tennis sensation took to her Instagram on Friday and shared a couple of stories from her latest trip to Switzerland. While neither Sabalenka nor Frangulis can be seen in any of these pictures, the beauty of the place is evident. In the first story, Sabalenka shared a picture of probably a hotel room, in which a small couch could be seen.

In another story, the 26-year-old shared a video from the streets of Switzerland which can be seen receiving intense and heavy rainfall. Captioning the post, Sabalenka tagged her boyfriend Frangulis and wrote, “September…❄️😂.” Remember, this trip comes in the backdrop of the US Open victory of the tennis star where she defeated American sensation Jessica Pegula in straight sets 7-5, 7-5.

Speaking in the post-match interview after winning the Cincinnati Open, Sabalenka said, “I think I think I am the worst at speeches. I am the worst. I am getting so tight and nervous. I need to remember everyone, I need to, I need to make sure my English sounds good.” And this was witnessed soon when she thanked her boyfriend for his constant support.

The Belarusian depicted high regard for Frangulis but made a blunder in the process, although she realized it quickly. “Special thank you to my boyfriends… boyfriend. I said boyfriends, oh my gosh. That’s my terrible English guys,” Sabalenka said. For now, the couple is enjoying some much-needed break. It will be interesting to see if more pictures emerge out of their vacation. The fans will certainly want that.
