Aryna Sabalenka knows how to keep her fans hooked — both on and off the court. Whether it’s her thunderous serves or head-turning fashion choices, the Belarusian star has mastered the art of stealing the spotlight. And guess what? She’s done it again! This time, Sabalenka isn’t making waves for her tennis but rather for her undeniable love of fashion. Fresh off her Australian Open setback, it looks like she’s putting the disappointment behind her, stepping out with style that has fans absolutely buzzing.
The Belarusian tennis sensation narrowly missed to win the third consecutive title at the Australian Open and faced a surprising defeat against Madison Keys in the finals, 3-6, 6-2, 5-7. But now, it seems that Sabalenka is not being bogged down by her setback and has already moved on with other endeavors in her life. In the latest, she appeared in a photo shoot for Nike, the sportswear giant that has been sponsoring Sabalenka for a long time.
The three-time Grand Slam champion was seen in a blue and black fit as she promoted the latest apparel from Nike. Remember, the collection features two innovative materials used in the apparel – ImpossiblySoft, a Spacer-Knit fabric that provides four-way stretch, and PerfectStretch which gives a polished feel. Sabalenka’s look, meanwhile, was completed with a pair of sunglasses and a black sling bag. Captioning the post, the star player wrote, “In @nike 24/7 ⏰✔️ #TeamNike #Nike247.” As soon as the post gained traction, fans started gushing over the star player.

Aryna Sabalenka’s latest outfit gets immense love from fans
Taking to the comment section of the post, one user wrote, “blue suits you!! 💙.” Sabalenka’s association with the color is not new. At the 2023 Australian Open, she was seen in a blue outfit that was complemented with a floral-themed skirt. However, there was something else that caught the attention back then. As Sabalenka took on Belinda Bencic in the 4th round of the tournament, the duo were seen wearing almost identical apparel that left the tennis community scratching their heads. But the latest photoshoot is definitely unique to the Belarusian powerhouse. More users joined the fray.
What’s your perspective on:
Aryna Sabalenka: Tennis powerhouse or fashion icon? Can she truly excel in both arenas?
Have an interesting take?
Responding to the post, another user commented, “GOAT of today’s WTA 🩷” Indeed, winning two Grand Slams last year, Sabalenka proved her mettle on the courts. Adding on to her achievements was the No. 1 ranking that she clinched after dethroning Iga Swiatek. This year too, she started on a sensational note and emerged victorious at the Brisbane International before winning the runner-up title in the Australian Open. And now, she is yet again in the spotlight for her off-court endeavors as well, thereby establishing herself as one of the most prominent stars. Several users continued to shower similar praise.
“We need @georgiosfrangulis in the next shooting,” wrote another user demanding the presence of Sabalenka’s boyfriend and Oakberry CEO Georgios Frangulis. Remember, the couple confirmed their relationship only in May last year and have been seen traveling to notable destinations since then. Besides, Frangulis is also present to see her belle perform on the courts and cheer her up from the sidelines. Hence, the demand for his presence behind Sabalenka in her off-court endeavors is quite understandable.

One more user joined the fray and wrote, “so cool n elegant^^🍃❄️👌.” Notably, Sabalenka’s love for fashion and photoshoots is not new. After winning her second Australian Open title last year, Sabalenka hurried up to appear in front of the press the following day. She said, “I actually love doing photoshoots,” as she was seen zipped into a second-skin Zimmermann skirt. She expressed a bit of self-doubt as well, by her own admission. “Right now, with the professionals, I feel like I’m doing a terrible job,” she joked, adding, “I think I need to do some classes and learn some stuff about how to pose.” But now, it seems that she has mastered this skill as well.
Yet another user simply shared their admiration and commented, “I want to be you when i grow up😍” It’s clear Sabalenka isn’t just a powerhouse on the court but also a style icon in the making. And if you think that an athlete can’t ace both fashion and tennis, you are definitely not talking about Aryna Sabalenka.
