Aryna Sabalenka recently took a break from the tennis circuit to enjoy a scenic Greece vacation with her boyfriend, Georgios Frangulis, following her withdrawal from the 2025 China Open due to a minor injury. The Belarusian World No. 1 shared highlights of her trip on Instagram, including a chic gingham bikini look and picturesque moments across the Mediterranean landscapes.

On Monday, September 22, Sabalenka posted a series of five photos from her trip to Greece. One image featured the four-time Grand Slam singles champion beaming in her gingham bikini, while another captured a tender kiss with Frangulis, the Brazil-born entrepreneur of Greek descent. The remaining photos showcased the stunning beauty of Greece’s beaches and scenery.

Sabalenka captioned the post:

“🇬🇷 you have my 🫶🏼”

Her boyfriend responded with:

“🇬🇷🫶🏻”

The Aryna Sabalenka Greece vacation comes after the tennis star withdrew from the China Open. The official X (formerly Twitter) account of the combined ATP 500 and WTA 1000 event confirmed her absence on Tuesday, September 16, citing a “minor injury.”

“Aryna Sabalenka has withdrawn from the 2025 China Open due to a minor injury. We wish her a speedy recovery and look forward to welcoming her back in Beijing. #2025ChinaOpen”

Before this, Sabalenka successfully defended her women’s singles crown at the US Open, defeating Amanda Anisimova 6-3, 7-6(3) in the Flushing Meadows final. The win solidified her position as the WTA World No. 1 and confirmed her qualification for the year-end WTA Finals in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Sabalenka competed in last year’s China Open as well, reaching the quarterfinals before being ousted by Karolina Muchova in a thrilling three-set match.
