<h2 style="text-align: center">Aryna Sabalenka 2025: Net Worth, Salary, Boyfriend, and Endorsements</h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center">Who is Aryna Sabalenka?</h2>
Aryna Sabalenka is a powerhouse on the WTA Tour. With her aggressive style, thunderous groundstrokes, and fearless “tiger” attitude, Sabalenka has established herself as a force to be reckoned with. She is currently ranked World No. 1 in women’s singles and is a former No. 1 in doubles.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-3572138 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/aryna-sabalenka-image.jpg" alt="Aryna Sabalenka" width="1843" height="1115" />

Sabalenka has won 18 WTA singles titles, including three Grand Slams—the 2023 Australian Open, the 2024 Australian Open, and the 2024 US Open. She has also found success in doubles, winning six titles, including the 2019 US Open and the 2021 Australian Open, both alongside her former partner Elise Mertens.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Aryna Sabalenka’s Early Life</h2>
Aryna Sabalenka, born on May 5, 1998 in Minsk, Belarus, the daughter of former ice hockey player Siarhiej, discovered tennis by chance. A passing tennis player sparked her interest, leading to her first visit to a court—an experience that ignited her lifelong passion. 

In 2014, she began training at Minsk's newly opened National Tennis Academy. Despite still being eligible for junior competitions, the Belarusian Tennis Federation encouraged Sabalenka to concentrate on professional events from 2015 onward.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-421284 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201024135738/2017_Citi_Open_Tennis_Aryna_Sabalenka_35907542790_cropped.jpg" alt="" width="1276" height="1154" />

Sabalenka was incredibly close to her father, who was her biggest supporter. Tragically, Sergey passed away in 2019, a loss that deeply impacted her. Today, she is supported by her mother, Yulia Sabalenka and younger sister, Tonechka Sabalenka, who also dreams of becoming a professional tennis player.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Aryna Sabalenka’s Boyfriend</h2>
Aryna Sabalenka is currently in a relationship with Georgios Frangulis, a Brazilian entrepreneur. He is the founder of Oakberry, a global superfood brand known for its açai bowls and smoothies. Interestingly, Oakberry also sponsors Sabalenka, making their partnership both personal and professional.

Frangulis has been a constant presence in Sabalenka’s life and is often seen cheering for her at tournaments. The couple was first spotted together in April 2024 during the Mutua Madrid Open, where Sabalenka finished as a finalist.

Their relationship comes after the heartbreaking loss of Konstantin Koltsov, Sabalenka’s former boyfriend, who tragically died by suicide in March 2024. Koltsov, a former ice hockey player and Olympian, had been with Sabalenka since 2021. Though she later clarified, they were no longer together at the time of his passing, the news deeply affected her. 
<h2 style="text-align: center">Aryna Sabalenka’s Net Worth 2025</h2>
Aryna Sabalenka was one of the highest-paid female athletes in 2024. She earned $18.7 million through prize money and endorsements, making her the fifth highest-paid female athlete that year. So far, she has earned $31.56 million in career prize money. Her 2025 prize money to date stands at $1.45 million. However, her exact net worth in 2025 is unknown.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Aryna Sabalenka’s Career</h2>
Aryna Sabalenka’s breakthrough came in 2017 when she led Belarus to the Fed Cup final alongside Aliaksandra Sasnovich. At the time, neither of them was ranked in the top 75, but their stunning performance put the Belarusian tennis powerhouse on the map.

In 2018, she climbed the rankings and reached four WTA finals. By 2019, she had started focusing on doubles as well. Teaming up with Elise Mertens, she won the Indian Wells and Miami Open, completing the rare Sunshine Double. That year, she also won the US Open doubles title. In singles, she dominated in China, winning three titles, including the Wuhan Open, and finished the year ranked No. 11 in the world. Next year, Sabalenka earned her first year-end top-10 finish in her career.

The 2021 season was another big leap. She won the Madrid Open, defeating Ashleigh Barty in the final, and made her first two Grand Slam semifinals at Wimbledon and the US Open. As a result of her fourth WTA 1000 title, she entered the top 5 rankings in singles at world No. 4. She also won the Australian Open doubles title with Mertens, which helped her become World No. 1 in doubles in February 2021.

Her defining moment came in 2023, when she won her first Grand Slam singles title at the Australian Open, defeating Elena Rybakina in the final. With her win, Sabalenka became the second Belarusian Grand Slam singles champion, breaking a decade-long gap since Victoria Azarenka's last major title.

That year, she also became World No. 1 for the first time, although she later lost the ranking to Iga Swiatek after the WTA Finals semis. She came back stronger in 2024, defending her Australian Open title without dropping a set. Later that year, she won her first US Open, cementing her status as the best player in the world. In December, Sabalenka was named WTA Player of the Year.

In 2025, Sabalenka reached her third consecutive Australian Open final, but her dream of a three-peat was crushed by Madison Keys, who defeated her in the championship match.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Aryna Sabalenka’s Partnerships and Endorsements</h2>
Aryna Sabalenka has been signed with Nike for her apparel and shoes since the start of her career. She also uses a Wilson racquet. Apart from that, she has endorsement deals with Whoop which is a fitness wearable brand, Dobel Tequila, luxury watch brand Audemars Piguet and her boyfriend Georgias Frangulis’ superfood brand Oakberry.

Despite her on-court success, Sabalenka doesn’t have as many endorsement deals as some of her WTA rivals. Due to her nationality and geopolitical factors, brands have been hesitant to sign her. In 2024, Forbes estimated that she earned $9 million from endorsements, which is significantly lower than some of her competitors, like Iga Swiatek and Coco Gauff, who earned $15 million and $25 million, respectively.

To improve her commercial prospects, Sabalenka left IMG in 2025 and joined Naomi Osaka’s Evolve agency before the Australian Open. This move was aimed at expanding her marketing and sponsorship opportunities.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Aryna Sabalenka’s Foundation and Charity</h2>
Sabalenka has been actively involved in charity work, supporting various causes throughout her career. In 2022, she participated in a charity mixed doubles match at the San Diego Open, playing alongside Pete Wentz, the bassist of Fall Out Boy, to raise funds for Rady Children’s Hospital. In 2024, Sabalenka teamed up with Novak Djokovic for a charity match against Stefanos Tsitsipas and Maria Sakkari before the Australian Open. Proceeds from the event supported children’s charities through the Australian Tennis Foundation.

During the 2024 US Open, she signed two towels for auction to raise money for domestic violence charities. She also donated her autographed pink Nike dress (the one she won the US Open in) to the International Tennis Hall of Fame Museum.

In 2025, Sabalenka participated in “Desert Smash”, a Hollywood-meets-tennis charity event that pairs Grand Slam champions with celebrities. The event raised money for the WTA Foundation’s Global Women’s Health Fund.
