Tennis Icon Aryna Sabalenka Sports a Sheer Outfit and a Golden Tan in a Stunning Vogue Cover
Aryna Sabalenka may wear workout clothes on the tennis court, but she decided to go sheer for the cover of Vogue.
The Belarusian tennis player, 28, who has won four Grand Slam titles and is currently the top-ranked female tennis player in the world, ditched her workout clothes and tennis racket for a groundbreaking cover and interview with Vogue. However, it's what she's NOT wearing that got the attentions of fans and followers. Sporting a bra top and a sheer navy skirt, the beauty showed off her strong muscles and golden tan as she stood on a balcony with the ocean behind her.
Sabalenka Just Got Engaged
In the article, Sabalenka shared that she recently became engaged to Georgios Frangulis, a Greek Brazilian businessman and the founder of Oakberry, an acai-bowl brand with more than 800 stores in over 50 countries. She now sports a 12-carat oval diamond ring that was created by Frangulis and a jeweler friend.
During a fun appearance with the social media influencer "Broadcast Boys" for a segment on Instagram, Sabalenka spoke about the giant ring.
"Is that what you personally requested?" she was asked.
The tennis legend replied, laughing, "No. I requested 14 but I got 12."
On Being Judged By Strangers
In the Vogue interview, Sabalenka opened up about the onslaught of criticism she's faced, particularly on social media.
"With a lot of love and a lot of attention and a lot of success, there's always gonna be people who judge you," she shared. "They judge your look, they judge your grunting, your nationality, even your private life, your choices. I don't scroll a lot, but sometimes I'll see random comments on Instagram, TikTok, Threads, and I'll ask my manager, ‘Do people really hate me that much?' Then I go into the stadium and I feel so much support, and I realize that on the internet, it's so few people, but it's so loud. Sometimes it's a fake account, and I think, You don't even have the balls to show your face? Or sometimes you click on the profile, and you see it's a mother with three kids, a happy family living a very conventional, perfect life. And the stuff that she's messaging you, it's ‘I want you to die, I want your family to have cancer, you're a whore.' And I think: There's something wrong with this planet."
