World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka launched her 2026 season with a dominant Brisbane International title win over Marta Kostyuk (6-4, 6-3) and a viral on-court moment: a cheeky engagement tease to her boyfriend Georgios Frangulis. “Thank you to my boyfriend… Hopefully soon I can call you something else. Let’s just put some extra pressure,” she told the crowd. Frangulis, the Brazilian founder of global açaí chain Oakberry with strong Greek roots from Thessaloniki, has been by her side since 2024.
