Aryna Sabalenka Has Fans In Awe Of Outfit For 2026 French Open

Aryna Sabalenka revealed this Wednesday that she'll be sporting a new outfit for the 2026 French Open.

Sabalenka, the No. 1 ranked player in the world, is the odds-on favorite to win this year's title at Roland Garros. She came so close to securing her first French Open title last June, but Coco Gauff defeated her 6–7, 6–2, 6–4.

"Conditions were terrible, and she simply was better in these conditions than me," Sabalenka said after losing to Gauff. "I think it was the worst final I ever played."

While it's too early to tell if Sabalenka will make it back to the French Open final, we can definitely say that she'll be dressed for the occasion.

On Wednesday morning, Sabalenka showed off her black and red outfit for the French Open. Let's just say her fans approve of the new look.

"Damn, Queen!! Looking fab," one fan said.

"Ouuuuuu! I loooove it already," a second fan added.

"Wow! Amazing! Just like a tiger," another fan commented.

"Omg I love it," an Instagram user wrote.

Could a tennis boycott be on the horizon?

Prior to this year's Rome Masters, Sabalenka suggested that players might start boycotting Grand Slam tournaments. Her main concern is that players aren't receiving a big enough share of the revenue for the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and US Open.

"Without us there wouldn't be a tournament and there wouldn't be that entertainment. I feel like definitely we deserve to be paid more percentage," Sabalenka said. "I think at some point we will boycott it. I feel like that's going to be the only way to fight for our rights."

For now, Sabalenka and the top-ranked players on the WTA Tour are set to compete at Roland Garros. Could that change in a year from now? It's certainly possible.
