Aryna Sabalenka's boyfriend Georgios Frangulis modeled a bold T-shirt about tennis players breaking rackets instead of hearts amid the Belurasian's Australian Open campaign. The World No.1 beat Clara Tauson on January 17 to qualify for the fourth round.
Frangulis, a Brazilian business who owns superfood brand Oakberry, shared a mirror selfie of himself on Friday, modeling a T-shirt from Broken Rackets. The black colored shirt had a bold quote imprinted on the back about tennis players, which read:
"Tennis players don't break hearts, they break rackets."
Interestingly, Sabalenka has broken her rackets multiple times over her career with notable instances from her defeats at the 2023 US Open and the 2024 Miami Open.
