In Pictures: Aryna Sabalenka takes in the picturesque views of Greece with Georgios Frangulis as they go on vacation days after her French Open exit

 Aryna Sabalenka is making the most of her “much-needed” time off the court. The Belarusian jetted off to Greece with Georgios Frangulis following her 2024 French Open exit.

Sabalenka, who was defending her semifinal run from last year, fell short against teenage prodigy Mirra Andreeva in the quarterfinals in Paris this time. Notably, the World No. 2 was out of sorts throughout the 6-7 (5), 6-4, 6-4 loss.

Despite her stomach issue, Aryna Sabalenka fought till the end, resorting to pills to keep herself alive in the contest. She skipped her post-match press conference due to the aforementioned illness, but briefly addressed the media afterward. She spoke about her decision to keep at it despite feeling unwell.

"I had a difficult time out there physically. I have been very sick the last few days with some kind of stomach bug, so it’s been a challenge," she said, according to express.co.uk. "I always do my best to fight to the end. I had to keep trying and just hope I could find a way and feel a bit better."

To move on from the loss, Aryna Sabalenka has treated herself to the perfect escape in Greece. On Saturday, June 8, the 26-year-old gave fans a glimpse of her vacation with Georgios Frangulis, showing off her villa overlooking the Mediterranean.

"Recharging… much needed," her Instagram story caption read.

The tennis player also joked about working on her tan lines as she basked in the sun.

"Ready to work a bit on these tan lines," she wrote.
