Aryna Sabalenka’s Boyfriend Explains Her Relationship With Novak Djokovic

Aryna Sabalenka has been in blistering form at the US Open, powering her way into the quarterfinals where she will take on Marketa Vondrousova for a place in the semifinals. While her focus remains firmly on the tennis court, off it, the top seed has been building a unique connection with none other than Novak Djokovic.

In a recent interview, Sabalenka’s boyfriend, entrepreneur Georgios Frangulis, opened up about their growing bond with the 24-time Grand Slam champion. Frangulis, who recently invested in the French football club Le Mans, revealed that Djokovic himself joined the venture as a co-investor, alongside motorsport stars Felipe Massa and Kevin Magnussen.

“Novak has been an idol of mine forever, long before we became friends. I always admired him for his achievements,” Frangulis shared. “When the Le Mans opportunity came up, I decided to invest in the club and brought in some investors who made a lot of sense. Since we’re talking about sports investment, I’d say Novak is the GOAT standard in terms of mindset and sharpness as an athlete. He fell in love with the project immediately – it just made sense.”
