After a rather solid season of wins and ending the year as No.1, Aryna Sabalenka is kicking back in style! Wrapping up her 2024 season at the WTA Finals, the Belarusian headed to fashion-centric city of París for a much more romantic getaway with her boyfriend, Georgios Frangulis. The couple has been stealing the hearts of fans since May 2024. Not one to shy away from a little online PDA, Sabalenka adores sharing glimpses of her relationship. And from the looks of it, the two are taking up as much downtime before her next season kicks off again!
At the WTA Finals, Aryna faced Coco Gauff in the semifinals but fell short, 6–1, 4–6, 4–6. Despite not winning the title, she maintained her No. 1 ranking in the WTA standings and celebrated at the awards ceremony. Interestingly, it was Frangulis who pointed out to her that she had surpassed Iga Swiatek for the top spot, a moment she initially didn’t grasp. Safe to say that while she couldn’t comprehend how she had done it, her beau was proud of her. Not to mention that she achieved her dream of finishing the year as No.1, which, of course, calls for celebration.
Earlier today, Aryna shared more snapshots from her Paris holiday, showcasing her OOTDs and lounging by the pool with Georgios. She captioned one post with a romantic touch, “Where you go, I go ❤️ @georgiosfrangulis.” Georgios responded playfully, commenting, “Wow, so cute you are meu amor(my love)? Is that orange bag the reason or you really that much in love? 😂🦧🦖💜” Hinting at a large Hermes shopping bag seen in one of their photos, suggesting that he might have treated her to a stylish gift.

The world number one had a remarkable year, clinching four titles, including two Grand Slam victories at the Australian Open and the US Open. With the season behind her, it’s time for her to savor those achievements and recharge before diving back into competition in 2025. So, what does her offseason look like?
Earlier, during a fun WTA Instagram session, players shared their offseason plans. Coco Gauff mentioned attending the Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival, while Iga Swiatek said she has no plans yet. Jasmine Paolini expressed her desire to rest and prepare for a stronger 2025 season. When it was Aryna’s turn, she humorously noted her intention to drink, but kept the specific beverage a secret. In Roddick’s podcast episode on November 12, she revealed more details.
“For the next couple of weeks, I’ll be in Miami. I’m so tired of traveling around. I just want to sleep on my bed, do nothing, no schedule, and wake up whenever I want. So, it’s gonna be like pretty chill days in Miami.” Aryna also shared her hopes for some beach time and cocktails, but joked about wanting to indulge in desserts while worrying about maintaining her fitness.

“So probably it’s gonna be some sort of diet (laughs). So, two weeks of doing nothing, and then we start all over again. And in preseason, I’m going to be in Dubai; that’s the plan.” Currently staying at the Four Seasons Hotel George V Paris with her boyfriend Georgios Frangulis, Aryna has a special fondness for Miami. She once described it as “so chill” and “relaxed,” making it the perfect place for her to unwind after an intense season of nearly 70 matches.
