Aryna Sabalenka Just Broke the Internet (Again) With This Sheer Outfit

By Lewis Barnett 28 August, 2025 5 mins read 255 Views

Listen, I've been covering tennis for eight years now, and I thought I'd seen everything. Then Aryna Sabalenka shows up to a Meta event in Central Park wearing what can only be described as... well, barely anything at all.

The world No. 1 is currently grinding through the US Open, but apparently she's got time to absolutely demolish social media between matches.

Hear the Summary

That Outfit Though

We're talking full black sheer situation here - see-through top, matching blazer, pants, and this tiny little bag that probably costs more than my rent. The 27-year-old Belarusian looked like she stepped off a runway instead of a tennis court. Posted it to her 3.3 million Instagram followers with the caption "A night in Central Park with @meta."

Simple. Effective. Devastating.

The comments section? Pure chaos. "Soooooo prettyyyyyy" and "okay one of your best looks WITHOUT a doubt" were just the beginning. Someone literally just wrote "Look at her." Like, they couldn't even form a complete sentence.

Remember That Topless Selfie?

Because apparently this woman has no chill whatsoever, Sabalenka already sent her fans into orbit earlier this month with a topless poolside snap from Miami. Tan lines on full display, winking at the camera like she owns the place (which, let's be honest, she kind of does).

"A day spent in the sun," she captioned it.

My editor texted me about that one at 11 PM on a Tuesday. His exact words: "Did you see what Sabalenka just posted?" Followed by about twelve fire emojis.

But Can She Actually Play Tennis?

Oh right. The tennis thing.

Sabalenka's defending her US Open title right now, having barely squeezed past Jessica Pegula last year in what was honestly one of the most nerve-wracking finals I've ever watched. Three Grand Slams total, world No. 1 ranking, and apparently an Instagram game that could put influencers to shame.

The women's final is next Saturday, and honestly? After seeing these outfits, I'm almost more excited about what she'll wear to the afterparty than teh match itself. (Almost.)

Social Media Meltdown

The reaction has been... intense. Her Instagram post is getting liked faster than I can refresh the page. Comments ranging from "Beautiful!" to "Queen!" to people just posting crown emojis because words have apparently failed them entirely.

One fan summed it up perfectly: they just wrote "Queen!" and honestly, what else is there to say?

Poor Jessica Pegula. She's got to face this woman across the net knowing she just casually broke the internet between practice sessions. Talk about psychological warfare.

How To

How to develop a powerful tennis serve

Mastering your grip is the first step to developing a powerful serve. A Continental grip will increase your racket's speed and give you more control. Check your stance - this usually means standing at 45-degrees to the baseline. The tossing of the ball is important. Make sure you toss it high enough so that you can strike it with your full arm extension. By bending your knees, drive up to the ball and using your entire body for power instead of just your arm, engage your legs. To ensure that your serve technique remains on track, try the "trophy pose" with the racket behind you and elbows elevated. Last but not least, make sure you are using a fluid, smooth motion. Also, snap your wrists when the racket hits the ground to get maximum speed. Consistent practice with these elements will lead to a more powerful serve.
