Aryna Sabalenka is a former world No. 1 tennis player in women's singles and doubles, and the Belarusian athlete is currently ranked No. 3 in the world by the WTA. Much to the delight of fans, she also recently confirmed her relationship with Georgios Frangulis in an Instagram reel filmed during the Berlin Open.

Just weeks earlier, the 26-year-old Sabalenka had announced she would not play at the upcoming Olympic Games in Paris. She then withdrew from Wimbledon just hours before the tournament's opening match, where she was scheduled to face Germany's Emina Bektas. Sabalenka, whose participation in the world's biggest tournament was eagerly anticipated, cited a particularly frustrating shoulder injury that prevented her from serving, AP reported.

It has been a difficult few months for Sabalenka, after her former boyfriend, NHL player Konstantin Koltsov, suddenly passed away in March.

Here's what else we know about Sabalenka:

Former NHL player and Olympian Konstantin Koltsov, whom Sabalenka was in a relationship with from 2021 to the end of 2023, died in March of this year. Police in Miami, Florida, where he was staying at the time, declared his death a suspected suicide, according to CNN. In the weeks following his death, ESPN reported that Sabalenka had been seen wearing all black during training. She later told the press in a statement that she and Koltsov had broken up before his death, but that she was heartbroken.

Tennis player Paula Badosa, Sabalenka's best friend and currently No. 93 in the WTA rankings, was scheduled to play the grieving athlete at the Miami Open in the days following Koltsov's death, The Telegraph reported.

Before the match, Badosa commented on Sabalenka's emotional strength: She is a strong woman. I think she will get her strength from somewhere.
