Aryna Sabalenka wears 12-carat engagement ring for opening-round Indian Wells win

“I was crying half of the time, because I thought that I looked ugly, not prepared, and this is such a beautiful moment,” she stated on Friday. “I stopped everything, and I asked the videographer and the photographer to make sure that my face is not there, just the ring, and, I don’t know, side views and from the back, just so you guys wouldn’t be shocked by the way I looked.

“In the end, it looked better,” she clarified afterward. “It looked real, it looked like it was a real surprise. Honestly, I’m super happy with the way they all did it to me.”

Sabalenka got here inside one match of the Sunshine Double in 2025, reaching the BNP Paribas Open ultimate and successful the Miami Open. In a stacked part of the draw that options Iva Jovic, Naomi Osaka, Victoria Mboko, Emma Raducanu, and Amanda Anisimova, the highest seed will look to glitter all through the Sunshine Swing with Jaqueline Cristian standing between her and the fourth spherical.
