Tennis star Aryna Sabalenka is embracing her recent engagement while competing at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells Tennis Garden. The tennis star has been proudly wearing her engagement ring on court and even joked that its sparkle might give her an advantage during matches.
Sabalenka spoke about her ring during a press conference at the tournament, which takes place in Palm Springs and concludes on Sunday, March 15. When asked why she decided to keep the diamond ring on while playing, she explained that, 'We double checked if there's a possibility to lose a diamond, and there's none, so I was pretty confident wearing this ring.'
She added, 'It feels pretty comfy. It feels shiny.' Sabalenka also joked about the possible effect on her competitors, saying, 'I hope that my opponent will get distracted by this diamond and it's going to benefit me.'
Sabalenka also had a playful moment during warm-ups at the tournament on March 11. Fans threw a wedding veil and bouquet onto the court, and the tennis star joined in on the fun. She wore the white tulle veil attached to a headband while practicing with her hair pulled back into a tight bun. Her fiance Frangulis stood beside her during the moment and the couple smiled while warming up.
