Aryna Sabalenka is a powerhouse on the tennis court, but even champions need someone in their corner. For Sabalenka, that person is Brazilian entrepreneur Georgios Frangulis, a man who has quietly become her strongest supporter while building a global brand of his own. But who is the man standing behind one of tennis’s fiercest competitors, and why is everyone suddenly talking about him?
Fans first spotted the couple together in April 2024, just weeks after Sabalenka endured the heartbreaking loss of her former boyfriend, Konstantin Koltsov. At a time when her world seemed to be falling apart, Georgios stepped in not as a headline-chaser, but as someone who lifted her through grief. Sabalenka has since admitted that his presence was “priceless” during that dark chapter of her life.
So, what makes Georgios Frangulis more than just “the boyfriend”? For starters, he’s a self-made entrepreneur. Born and raised in São Paulo, he studied law but walked away from the courtroom dream to chase his passion for business. In 2016, he launched Oakberry, a superfood brand built around Brazil’s beloved açaí berry. From one small shop, Oakberry exploded worldwide now boasting over 700 stores in more than 40 countries. By 2023, the brand had raised $67 million, and Georgios himself had landed on the cover of Forbes Brazil.
But here’s where things get interesting. Georgios isn’t just the man cheering in Sabalenka’s player box—he’s also her business partner. In 2024, Aryna became an ambassador for Oakberry, and even collaborated on her own personalized açaí bowl, the “Power Serve Bowl.” For her, it wasn’t just a sponsorship, it was creative, personal, and a way to connect her own energy with a brand that meant something to her boyfriend.
Away from tennis and smoothies, Georgios has another passion: motorsports. He has raced in over 120 events in the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge, balancing the adrenaline of racing cars with the discipline of running a global business. “Getting in the car and racing is one of the few moments when nothing else matters,” he once said. That same determination and focus seem to spill over into how he supports Sabalenka’s career.
And yes, he’s always there for the big moments. Whether it’s celebrating her US Open titles, lifting her spirits after tough losses, or simply sharing goofy selfies on Instagram, Georgios is more than just a supportive partner. He’s part of Sabalenka’s story now.
Aryna herself has hinted at just how much he means to her. At one point, she even slipped up during a victory speech, saying “Thank you to my boyfriends—oh my god!” before quickly correcting herself. It was a small but unforgettable moment, showing the world just how comfortable and happy she is by his side.
So, do you really want to know Aryna Sabalenka better? Then you need to know Georgios Frangulis. He’s not just the man in the stands—he’s the entrepreneur, dreamer, racer, and rock who’s been helping the world’s most powerful player shine even brighter.
