Tennis star Aryna Sabalenka's mega rich new boyfriend after tragic death of famous ex
Tennis star Aryna Sabalenka's mega rich new boyfriend after tragic death of famous ex Aryna Sabalenka is preparing to face Coco Gauff in the French Open final on Saturday, with the Belarusian looking to win her first Grand Slam title in Paris Aryna Sabalenka poses with Georgios Frangulis (Image: 2024 Getty Images ) Aryna Sabalenka stands on the cusp of her first French Open championship, provided she can clinch a victory over Coco Gauff in Saturday's showdown. The Belarusian powerhouse, with three Grand Slam victories to her name, has historically found the clay courts of Paris challenging. Her stunning triumph over top pick Iga Swiatek in the semi-finals leaves just Gauff between her and the coveted title. Currently reigning as the world number one, Sabalenka's form seems unstoppable, bolstered by the presence of her partner Georgios Frangulis, the prosperous CEO of Oakberry acai who's often seen cheering her on. Frangulis, a Brazilian of Greek heritage, who began his romance with Sabalenka last year, is frequently seen supporting her from the stands amidst her coaches. His face becoming a familiar sight at her matches, he's regularly honoured in her speeches upon winning. The influential support from Frangulis has earned high praise from Sabalenka herself, who has described his backing as "priceless", reports the Express. Their relationship came into the public eye back in May 2024 when they were spotted cosying up at the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix inside the Haas garage, a Formula One team backed by Frangulis' enterprise. Tragedy of ex boyfriend The disclosure followed closely on the heels of the profound loss Sabalenka experienced with the passing of her former boyfriend, Konstantin Koltsov. Article continues below The ex-ice hockey professional died tragically after an incident at a Miami hotel in March. Despite their separation, Sabalenka expressed deep sorrow, saying: "While we were no longer together, my heart is broken." In the world of sport, personal and commercial ties often intertwine, as demonstrated by Sabalenka's dual connection with her new boyfriend's company Oakberry. Before the previous Australian Open in January, she secured a sponsorship deal with the acai-specialising business. Oakberry's founder and CEO George Frangulis couldn't contain his excitement about partnering with the tennis ace, remarking: "Aryna Sabalenka is a great example of the future of tennis and we are working closely with her to create some really exciting things over the years." Since its inception in 2016, Oakberry has seen remarkable international growth under Frangulis's guidance, now operating in more than 35 countries and earning him an estimated fortune of £80 million. That figure significantly higher than Sabalenka's reported net worth of £14.5m from Forbes. Frangulis, who once studied law at the Fundacao Armando Alvares Penteado, isn't just running a successful business; he also occupies a crucial role in Sabalenka's life, supporting her throughout the tennis circuit. Article continues below At 36 years old, Frangulis's presence extends beyond professional support, playing a vital role in Sabalenka's personal well-being. Sabalenka has been vocal about his influence, sharing with People: "There was a really tough period where I was really happy to have him by my side, always cheering me up, always making sure that we are doing some fun stuff. "But I make sure I kind of forget about tennis and focus on the good things and enjoy my life. "Even when things are going wrong in my career, he was my biggest support and yeah, really happy to have him by my side."

Lebanon aims to bring tourists back to its beaches as travel bans finally lift
In a bid to revive Lebanon 's tourism sector, the Tourism Ministry recently hosted a retro-themed event at Beirut 's St. Georges Hotel. Fireworks illuminated the night sky above the Mediterranean Sea, while classic hits from the 1960s and 70s played in the background. The event aimed to evoke the "golden era" before the civil war of 1975, when Lebanon was a prime destination for wealthy tourists from the Gulf, drawn to its beaches, mountains, and vibrant nightlife. The event hopes to promote the upcoming summer season. In the decade after the war, tourists from Gulf countries – and crucially, Saudi Arabia – came back, and so did Lebanon's economy. But by the early 2000s, as the Iran -backed militant group Hezbollah gained power, Lebanon's relations with Gulf countries began to sour. Tourism gradually dried up, starving its economy of billions of dollars in annual spending. Now, after last year's bruising war with Israel, Hezbollah is much weaker and Lebanon's new political leaders sense an opportunity to revitalize the economy once again with help from wealthy neighbors. They aim to disarm Hezbollah and rekindle ties with Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries, which in recent years have prohibited their citizens from visiting Lebanon or importing its products. 'Tourism is a big catalyst, and so it's very important that the bans get lifted,' said Laura Khazen Lahoud, the country's tourism minister. On the highway leading to the Beirut airport, once-ubiquitous banners touting Hezbollah's leadership have been replaced with commercial billboards and posters that read 'a new era for Lebanon.' In the center of Beirut, and especially in neighborhoods that hope to attract tourists, political posters are coming down, and police and army patrols are on the rise. There are signs of thawing relations with some Gulf neighbors. The United Arab Emirates and Kuwait have lifted yearslong travel bans. All eyes are now on Saudi Arabia, a regional political and economic powerhouse, to see if it will follow suit, according to Lahoud and other Lebanese officials. A key sticking point is security, these officials say. Although a ceasefire with Israel has been in place since November, near-daily airstrikes have continued in southern and eastern Lebanon, where Hezbollah over the years had built its political base and powerful military arsenal. As vital as tourism is — it accounted for almost 20% of Lebanon's economy before it tanked in 2019 — the country's leaders say it is just one piece of a larger puzzle they are trying to put back together. Lebanon's agricultural and industrial sectors are in shambles, suffering a major blow in 2021, when Saudi Arabia banned their exports after accusing Hezbollah of smuggling drugs into Riyadh. Years of economic dysfunction have left the country's once-thriving middle class in a state of desperation. The World Bank says poverty nearly tripled in Lebanon over the past decade, affecting close to half its population of nearly 6 million. To make matters worse, inflation is soaring, with the Lebanese pound losing 90% of its value, and many families lost their savings when banks collapsed. Tourism is seen by Lebanon's leaders as the best way to kickstart the reconciliation needed with Gulf countries -- and only then can they move on to exports and other economic growth opportunities. 'It's the thing that makes most sense, because that's all Lebanon can sell now,' said Sami Zoughaib, research manager at The Policy Initiative, a Beirut-based think tank. With summer still weeks away, flights to Lebanon are already packed with expats and locals from countries that overturned their travel bans, and hotels say bookings have been brisk. At the event hosted last month by the tourism ministry, the owner of the St. Georges Hotel, Fady El-Khoury, beamed. The hotel, owned by his father in its heyday, has acutely felt Lebanon's ups and downs over the decades, closing and reopening multiple times because of wars. 'I have a feeling that the country is coming back after 50 years,' he said. On a recent weekend, as people crammed the beaches of the northern city of Batroun, and jet skis whizzed along the Mediterranean, local business people sounded optimistic that the country was on the right path. 'We are happy, and everyone here is happy,' said Jad Nasr, co-owner of a private beach club. 'After years of being boycotted by the Arabs and our brothers in the Gulf, we expect this year for us to always be full.' Still, tourism is not a panacea for Lebanon's economy, which for decades has suffered from rampant corruption and waste. Lebanon has been in talks with the International Monetary Fund for years over a recovery plan that would include billions in loans and require the country to combat corruption, restructure its banks, and bring improvements to a range of public services, including electricity and water. Without those and other reforms, Lebanon's wealthy neighbors will lack confidence to invest there, experts said. A tourism boom alone would serve as a 'morphine shot that would only temporarily ease the pain" rather than stop the deepening poverty in Lebanon, Zoughaib said. The tourism minister, Lahoud, agreed, saying a long-term process has only just begun. "But we're talking about subjects we never talked about before,' she said. 'And I think the whole country has realized that war doesn't serve anyone, and that we really need our economy to be back and flourish again.'

Your rights if a hotel refuses to serve English food on a foreign holiday
A consumer rights champion has explained the rules after one woman had to eat Greek food every day on her Greek holiday A consumer rights expert has explained what you can do if your hotel on a foreign holiday refuses to serve you a full English breakfast, after a woman got £100 from TUI because she couldn't get British food on her Greek break. Susan Edwards took a seven-night getaway to the Greek island of Corfu but was horrified to find there was no English food available - although she did get chips one night. Susan, from Westerhope, described the holiday as "horrendous from the minute [they] got there." Susan said: "It was all-inclusive, £750 each we paid and there was no food we could eat and we couldn't have anything to drink." Susan, who has ulcerative colitis, said: "On a morning you could have toast, a hard boiled egg, or something in sauce. There was no bacon. For breakfast there was mozzarella and sliced tomatoes. There was no hot bacon or sausage. "We got chips one day. One day out of the whole lot. There was fish, sardines and rice - I was sick to death of looking at rice. There was pasta and salads, none of this was marked (labelled). One night there was a Greek night and they had kebabs, I couldn't eat that. It's the worst holiday I've ever been on." Susan was offered £100 in holiday vouchers from TUI but has turned down the offer. Consumer rights expert Helen Dewdney, known as The Complaining Cow, said your package holiday rights are protected under the Package Holiday and Linked Travel Arrangements 2018. She said: "A package holiday consists or two or more components, such as accommodation and flight or transfers, and must last longer than 24 hours or at the very least have an overnight element. The organiser (i.e. the travel company with which you booked) is liable for the failures of hoteliers, suppliers and services within the contract." Helen said: "The organiser must not provide misleading information. If the holiday does not match the description, you will be entitled to redress. The organiser must clearly state the details of the booking in a Standard Information Form, before you make any payment. The Form must include specifics of any arrangements: dates, times, costs, meals, excursions included/excluded, activities, transportation, cancellation fees, contact details for the package organiser, information on compulsory/voluntary insurance regarding repatriation in the event of illness/death/accident, and/or the cost of termination of the contract by the traveller." She added: "You are entitled to redress for the disappointment and distress caused by things going wrong. The amount will be dependent on what and for how much of the holiday." Helen said: 'Make sure you take out travel insurance at the same time you book your holiday. You never know what might happen between now and then!' She added: "Is it reasonable to claim for a lack of 'English food' on a continental holiday? Probably not. However, at least one TUI customer has succeeded in claiming limited compensation for this alleged breach, although she has got to buy another holiday to use it!" A spokesperson for TUI UK and Ireland said: "Our priority is to ensure customers have the best possible holiday experience, so we are sorry to hear that Mrs Edwards felt dissatisfied with her holiday. We have been in touch directly with Mrs Edwards to come to a resolution."
