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."
