The proposal shouldnât have come as a complete surprise to Sabalenka, who seemed to lobby for it after winning the Brisbane International early this year. âThank you to my boyfriend. ⊠Hopefully soon I can call you something else, right?â
The happy couple shared a post on Instagram, sharing a video of the proposal with the caption âYou & me, foreverâ with heart and ring emojis.
