Aryna Sabalenka debuts as Gucci model in Milan

Tennis star Aryna Sabalenka has recently made headlines for activities both on and off the court. Following her loss to Elena Rybakina in the US Open final, which resulted in Sabalenka losing her world number one ranking, the athlete has been seen engaging in high-profile fashion and leisure activities.

In Milan, Sabalenka made her runway debut at Vogue World 2026. As a global ambassador for Gucci, she walked the runway at the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II wearing a chocolate-brown gown. During the event, she was seen interacting with supermodel Irina Shayk, who praised her performance.

Additionally, Sabalenka has been vacationing in Greece with her fiancé, Georgios Frangulis. She shared glimpses of her trip on social media, describing it as a period of “rest and reset” following the intense US Open tournament.

On the professional front, tennis analysts are debating her future form. While some experts, such as Caitlin Thompson, suggest she may be in a period of decline due to mental and technical vulnerabilities, others, like Rennae Stubbs, remain optimistic about her potential for Grand Slam success in 2027.
