Sabalenka and Frangulis posted a joint Instagram video of the proposal with the Belarusian star appearing shocked by the romantic gesture.
The four-time Grand Slam winner then showed off her massive oval-cut diamond ring with her fiance, sharing that she was surprised by evening’s turn of events, which included loads of pink flowers and candles in an outdoor, poolside setting.
“Well, I obviously had NO idea this was happening tonight,” Sabalenka captioned an Instagram Story video while flashing her engagement ring.

“Well guys, everything happened, but just look how I look,” said Sabaleka, who turned the camera to show herself — dressed very casually in a white T-shirt and jeans with minimal makeup and hairstyling — and Frangulis sitting together at a dinner table.

Sabalenka then joked with her assistant that she should’ve at least been warned and then could be “fully prepared” for the situation.

“You & me, forever,” the post was captioned, along with Tuesday’s date and an infinity emoji.
After winning the Brisbane International title earlier this year, Sabalenka “put some extra pressure” on Frangulis to pop the question in an on-court interview.
“Thank you to my boyfriend … Hopefully soon I can call you something else, right?” Sabalenka said with a laugh after defeating Ukraine’s Marta Kostyuk.
“Let’s just put some extra pressure, right?”

Frangulis was seen laughing in the stands at the remarks.
“I just put in some extra pressure, I mean, come on, how long?” she later quipped in a video posted by the WTA. “I think by now he should figure it out.”
