**Love is in the Air at US Open: Proposal Rings Out During Sabalenka Match**
**NEW YORK, NY –** While Aryna Sabalenka, the world’s number one ranked tennis player, battled her way to a decisive victory over Leylah Fernandez in the US Open third round, romance bloomed in the stands. During the match at Louis Armstrong Stadium, the jumbotron captured a fan proposal, prompting cheers and applause from the crowd.
Sabalenka, unfazed by the distraction, maintained her focus to secure a 6-3, 7-6 (2) win. Afterward, she acknowledged the sweet moment, admitting she saw the proposal and joking that she hoped it would inspire others.
“I think it’s the first time that someone proposed during my match,” Sabalenka said in the post-match press conference. “It was a very sweet moment, but I was just trying not to start smiling, because it’s very cute and I believe they’re super happy right now.”
Sabalenka, who has been dating Oakberry founder and CEO Georgios Frangulis since last year, even looked at her boyfriend after the event with a cheeky smile, hinting at potential future plans of her own.
The defending champion is set to continue her title defense in the fourth round against Cristina Bucșa.
