Leave it to Aryna Sabalenka to drop the most entertaining bombshells with a mischievous grin! During a lighthearted press conference, the Belarusian powerhouse teased Bulgarian heartthrob Grigor Dimitrov for what she called his “non-stop texting campaign” to convince her to team up for the US Open mixed doubles. And yes, tennis Twitter is officially losing its mind.
“He was texting me non-stop,” Sabalenka joked, rolling her eyes in classic Aryna style. “Like, every day, ‘Please Aryna, we’d be the dream team!’” she added, sending the room into laughter. While it’s unclear how serious the invitation was, the chemistry between the two fan favorites has tongues wagging—and imaginations running wild.
Dimitrov, known for his charm both on and off the court, hasn’t commented—yet. But if history tells us anything, expect a cheeky Instagram story or witty post soon enough. The idea of a Sabalenka-Dimitrov mixed pairing? Pure box-office gold. Both are dynamic, emotional, and wildly entertaining players who could light up Arthur Ashe under the lights—not just with their tennis, but with their larger-than-life personalities.
Mixed doubles at Slams rarely gets mainstream attention, but if these two actually join forces in New York, the buzz will be undeniable. Between Aryna’s rocket serve and Grigor’s silky finesse, they’d be a perfect blend of fire and flair. And let’s be honest—who wouldn’t want to see Aryna shouting encouragement (or playful insults) at Grigor mid-rally?
While nothing has been officially confirmed, Sabalenka’s teasing tone suggests talks are at least happening—and if it’s all a joke? It’s a good one. Tennis desperately needs more personality, more banter, more fun. And this little exchange between two of the sport’s biggest stars proves the locker room isn’t just full of fierce competitors, but also friends who know how to keep things light.
Whether they team up or not, the idea is already a win—for the fans, for the mixed doubles draw, and for anyone who loves a good tennis flirt-mance. But let’s be honest… if they walk onto court together in New York this summer? Ticket sales might just explode. Because Aryna Sabalenka and Grigor Dimitrov don’t just play tennis—they put on a show.
