Aryna Sabalenka enjoyed the best season of her career in 2024. The Belarusian finished the year as World No.1 for the first time and was the only women’s player to win two Grand Slam titles. For this splendid year, she has credited her boyfriend, Georgios Frangulis, for the impact of her performances on the court throughout the year.

Sabalenka confirmed her relationship with Frangulis in May this year and he has been with her on tour this season. The 35-year-old businessman is the founder and CEO of Oakberry Food Company. He loves Formula 1 and has taken Sabalenka to the Grand Prix in Italy and, recently, the final race of the season in Abu Dhabi.

Additionally, he has traveled with the Belarusian for the majority of the season and is even part of her team. With the support of Frangulis, Sabalenka achieved an impressive 56-14 win-loss record this season. The 26-year-old also overtook Iga Swiatek in October to become the World No.1 and ended the season in that position for the first time in her career.

However, Sabalenka experienced a difficult spell earlier in the year, after the death of her ex-boyfriend, Konstantin Koltsov. With the help of Frangulis, she was able to overcome the situation and play her best tennis. In a recent interview, she credited him for his impact in her on-court displays this year.

I have been through a really terrible time. I am very happy that Georgios is by my side, constantly encouraging me and always making sure that we are doing something interesting. I try to forget about tennis and enjoy life. When something goes wrong in my career, Georgios is my main support, so I am happy that he is by my side.

After a dominant season, Sabalenka was recently awarded the WTA Player of the Year for the first time in her career. The 26-year-old is hoping to carry on with her form into the 2025 season.
