Tennis ace Aryna Sabalenka has made the remarkable claim she’d be a model if it wasn’t for her tennis career.
The Belarusian is currently World No.1, but she has also earned the moniker of the ‘world’s hottest tennis star’ thanks to her gorgeous looks. And Sabalenka was on the cover of Esquire when she asked what she would be if she hadn’t have made it in tennis.
“Boxing or maybe modeling. Maybe model size plus. I would be good,” she said. “Until the end of my life, I’ll have to do something where I’m that aggressive – maybe boxing – because I feel like I’m balancing these two personalities really well.

“On the court, I’m quite aggressive, quite emotional, which I need to be to pull out my best tennis. Off the court, I’m a completely different person.”
However, she is trying to keep a lid on the aggression and channel it in the right way.
Sabalenka added: “I’m always going to be me… But there is a line when you become a terrible person that you cannot cross.”
Sabalenka recently got engaged, and she looked genuinely stunned as Georgios Frangulis dropped to one knee.
Surrounded by flowers and candles – and someone with a phone to capture the moment for Instagram purposes – Sabalenka said ‘yes’ before smooching with her new fiancé.
The clip then switched to a close-up of the mega ring on her finger. In posting the video to her £4.7million followers, Sabalenka wrote: “You & me, forever 3.3.26,” with infinity, ring and white heart emojis.
In additional clips on her Instagram story, Sabalenka displayed the ring once more and wrote: “Well, I obviously had NO idea this was happening tonight [laughing face emoji].”
Frangulis, a Brazilian-born entrepreneur of Greek descent, has an estimated net worth of around £80million, primarily through Oakberry. That is considerably larger than Sabalenka’s net worth, which Forbes reports to be around £14.5m.
