Aryna Sabalenka is eyeing her fifth Grand Slam title at the 2026 French Open, having arrived at Roland Garros ahead of her campaign. Amid her preparations, the world No. 1 also turned heads off the court by gracing the digital cover for Vogue’s May issue, with her stunning photoshoot drawing admiration from her fiancé, Georgios Frangulis, and others.
How Aryna Sabalenka’s Fiancé Georgios Frangulis Reacted to Her Vogue Shoot
Sabalenka recently unveiled her glamorous photoshoot for Vogue’s digital issue on social media, posing for the cover in a chic black Gucci ensemble as the luxury brand’s global brand ambassador. She also dazzled in several stylish outfits for the shoot, set against a scenic beach backdrop.
“A dream come true. Thank you @voguemagazine 🩵,” she captioned her post.

Sabalenka’s fiancé, Georgios Frangulis, was evidently captivated by her photoshoot, prompting a heartfelt response from the world No. 1.
“You rock meu amor. Lucky me ♥️,” Frangulis commented.
“@georgiosfrangulis have to keep up with you 🤣🫶❤️,” Sabalenka responded.
“@arynasabalenka ♥️😅,” he wrote.
Tommy Paul’s fiancée, Paige Lorenze, and Grigor Dimitrov’s girlfriend, Eiza Gonzalez, also gushed over the four-time Grand Slam champion’s Vogue feature.
“HOT,” Lorenze commented.
“This is wow babes🔥,” Gonzalez wrote.
With the accompanying interview taking place just a day after Sabalenka’s shocking third-round loss to Sorana Cîrstea at the Italian Open, Frangulis told Vogue about how he supports Sabalenka through her distress after such defeats. He explained that while he gives her space, he also refuses to let her wallow in her room.
“Aryna is very upset. For me, it’s a matter of being around but also giving her the space to get her thinking straight. She’s a killer, she’s the best, but sometimes it takes her 24 hours to remember that. My goal is to do whatever she’s doing, but if she wants to spend the whole day in her hotel room, I tell her we can’t just stay here as if someone has died. So tonight, we’re going out for some pasta,” he said.
Meanwhile, the world No. 1 humorously revealed how she had ensured that Frangulis wouldn’t buy her a modest engagement ring. The tactic clearly paid off, as she now sports a dazzling 12-carat diamond since the Brazilian proposed to her at Indian Wells earlier this year.
“You know, I would tell him, ‘I’m a big girl, and my hand is big, and a small ring would look very…small,'” she said.
On the tennis front, Aryna Sabalenka has arrived at the French Open with a special companion, bringing along her and fiancé Georgios Frangulis’ pet dog Ash, who even received his own accreditation at the clay-court major. After losing to Coco Gauff in last year’s final, the Belarusian will be determined to go one step further this time and finally get her hands on the Roland Garros trophy.
