Aryna Sabalenka put her impressively toned figure on full display in her recent social media post.
The tennis star was spotted doing a beachside hair flip, in a tiny cheetah-print bikini and black shades during a recent getaway.
She captioned her post: "Running around on a beach and tennis court near you," with a kissing face emoji.

Fans loved the fiery pictures and flocked to her comments to cheer her on. One person wrote: "Slay!! Ur the coolest. In another life we're besties."
Another follower added: "That's the spirit." A third fan continued: "GOAT."
Aryna prioritizes balance in her busy schedule, and although tennis takes the top spot in her life, the star makes sure to add fun and rest to the mix. She's also not a fan of being super strict in any aspect.
She explained to Esquire: "When I'm in the preseason or during a tournament, I'm not drinking at all. But I have my moments, like when it's a big win of course I party and drink."

She makes sure to schedule in some me-time, whenever she gets the chance, because oftentimes her calander won't allow for it.
Aryna added: "Preseason is quite boring and tough. It’s the same every day, and it's hard work, and you're super tired and you cannot have fun."

She expressed: "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."
The trick for Aryna is to stay authentic and do what feels best for her personally, not necessarily what's advised or popular.

She joked: "Sometimes I go shopping, which doesn't make sense. Imagine you have a big match the next day, and the day before, someone sees you shopping? But if you need it, go for it. Don't be afraid that it's going to destroy your game."
