World No. 1 women's tennis player Aryna Sabalenka (28, Belarus) shared updates on her vacation, sparking a strong response from fans.

The UK's "The Sun" recently reported that "Sabalenka posted a video of herself in a red bikini showing off her toned physique on her Instagram, garnering a warm reaction from fans."

Sabalenka is currently relaxing with sunbathing following an early exit at Wimbledon and failing to reach the quarterfinals at the National Bank Open. The media stated, "She drew attention for requesting permission to bring her dog during the Wimbledon tournament; in the trailer for the fourth episode of her vlog released this time, she posed while walking out of the sea. She then enjoyed leisure time away from the court, drinking cocktails and dancing."

In the video, Sabalenka said, "Professional athletes don't have enough time to relax comfortably," adding, "As long as there is delicious food, good music, and sunny weather, that's all I need. Everything else is a bonus."

On her post, which has 5.5 million followers, fans offered praise such as "So hot" and "The best." Meanwhile, some fans urged her to "Keep moving forward for yourself and your fans" and "We're waiting at the US Open," encouraging her to finish her break and focus on training and tournament preparation for her main job.

Sabalenka, who shared such bright updates, also recently revealed that she overcame a major personal tragedy through tennis. In an interview with the September issue of the U.S. newsweekly "Time," she confessed to suffering from severe depression after her ex-boyfriend, Konstantin Kolchov, suddenly passed away in March 2024.

Kolchov, a former player in the North American Ice Hockey League (NHL), died after falling from the 23rd floor of a hotel in Miami. At the time, Sabalenka insisted on competing at the Miami Open despite her coaches' pleas to withdraw due to shock. She recalled, "Tennis saved me from depression," and added, "I worked even harder in training to endure my grief."

Meanwhile, Sabalenka, who defended her title by defeating Amanda Anisimova in the final 11 months ago, will challenge for a third consecutive US Open title this year.
