Aryna Sabalenka put her incredible athletic physique on full display as she swapped the tennis court for a glamorous night out in New York City.

The 28-year-old tennis champion showcased her seriously toned legs in a thigh-skimming bubblegum pink mini dress as she celebrated being named Moroccanoil's new global ambassador at Le Jardin Sur Madison on August 27.

The playful mini featured a high neckline, capped sleeves and artfully ruched detailing around the hips, finishing high above the knee to reveal the powerful legs that have helped make Aryna one of the most formidable players in women's tennis.

She kept her accessories understated, adding delicate jewellery and simple white thong sandals, while her long blonde hair was worn in loose, beachy waves.

Aryna appeared in fantastic spirits throughout the evening and was also joined by her fiancé, Georgios Frangulis, with the couple sharing a sweet moment for photographers as he leaned affectionately towards her.

Aryna Sabalenka's approach to health

Behind Aryna's powerful physique is, unsurprisingly, an extraordinary amount of training, but the four-time Grand Slam champion has made it clear she isn't interested in pursuing perfection at the expense of enjoying her life.

Speaking to Vogue in New York this week, Aryna offered a fascinating glimpse into just how closely she monitors her health.

"I do a lot of stuff, I really pay attention to my sleep. I pay attention to what I eat," she said.

"But I try to look after my body, because my body is the most important thing in my career, so I have to really look after it."

Aryna revealed she uses a WHOOP fitness tracker and checks her sleep data as soon as she wakes up, before monitoring her calorie expenditure later in the day.

Even chocolate has a place in the equation. By the end of the day, she joked that she'll check her numbers to decide: "Am I allowed to have that little chocolate that's just looking at me and begging to eat it or not?"

Her wellness routine also includes breathing techniques and working with a mental coach, although she stressed that there are still days when she simply eats whatever she feels like.

Why Aryna refuses to give up life's pleasures

That sense of balance is something Aryna has spoken about increasingly candidly. In an interview with Esquire earlier this year, she explained that while her regime becomes much stricter during pre-season and tournaments, she refuses to completely deprive herself.

"When I'm in the preseason or during a tournament, I'm not drinking at all," she explained.

"But I have my moments, like when it's a big win of course I party and drink. It's important to balance it."

For Aryna, allowing herself those moments is part of staying healthy mentally as well as physically. "To cut everything out from your life is not healthy," she added.

Consistency, rather than perfection, appears to be the real secret behind her athleticism. The tennis star previously revealed that her warm-up, recovery and hydration routines remain relatively unchanged wherever she is competing, giving her a sense of control amid a gruelling international travel schedule.

"When I feel good physically, it's much easier to stay focused and play my game, no matter where I am in the world," she told Forbes.

Aryna Sabalenka's life with fiancé Georgios Frangulis

Aryna also has another source of support away from the court: her fiancé, Brazilian businessman Georgios Frangulis.

The couple began dating in 2024 and announced their engagement in March after Georgios proposed in Indian Wells.

Their relationship has become an important source of stability for the tennis champion amid the relentless travel of the professional tour.

"His support means so much to me," Aryna previously told Us Weekly. "Being on the road and having him support me, to make me laugh and to be able to work out together, makes life on the road feel more like home."

Aryna also spoke candidly about their engagement during her appearance on Vogue's The Run-Through this week, confirming that Georgios had gone down on one knee to propose.

Their relationship has also helped Aryna through profoundly difficult moments. In her May Vogue cover interview, she revealed that Georgios is often beside her when grief over the death of her father, Sergey, unexpectedly resurfaces.

"Nowadays my fiancé will find me crying in bed in the evening because I'm watching Reels and there's something about a father, or old times," she said.
