Watch: Aryna Sabalenka enjoys her time at Nike World Campus, ahead of Indian Wells

Aryna Sabalenka has been off-color since her Australian Open defeat.

Aryna Sabalenka is making the most of her time away from tennis, along with boyfriend Georgios Frangulis. The Belarus star received a warm welcome at the Nike World Campus in Oregon. Having been associated with Nike since 2017, Sabalenka has now become a brand ambassador for the multi-national company.

A massive banner greeted the current World No. #1 with the words ‘Welcome Aryna’ written on it in black and white. Sabalenka and her boyfriend were spotted strolling inside the Nike headquarters, and she took to Instagram to share this moment with her fans.

The video captures the walls of the headquarters, along with images of the Belarusian in Nike kits.

The reigning US Open winner has collaborated with Nike on multiple instances and also featured in Nike’s latest product launch – the Swoosh Bra. Moreover, the top seed began her Australian Open 2025 campaign sporting Nike’s green kit, along with a pair of shoes which had a tiger embroidered on it.

The three-time Grand Slam champion has had a mixed start to the new season. She began from where she left, with a title at the Brisbane International. A rare three-peat looked imminent at the Melbourne Park, and after dominant victories one after the other, the two-time defending champion was stunned by Madison Keys in the finale.

After the heart-breaking defeat, the 26-year-old made her return at the 2025 Qatar Open, only to be knocked out in her very first round at the hands of Ekaterina Alexandrova. She then fell to eventual finalist, Clara Tauson in the second round of the 2025 Dubai Tennis Championships.

The Belarusian has been poor at the Middle East Swing so far, and her visit to the Nike headquarters gives her a much-needed break, ahead of a long season. The Indian Wells 2025 is set to commence from March 2, where the top seed’s best outing came in 2023 when she finished as the runner-up losing to Elena Rybakina in the finals.

However, despite the poor form, the Belarusian continues to lead the way in the WTA rankings. Iga Swiatek, Sabalenka’s biggest competitor hasn’t been able to win a title in 2025 so far and trails the apex position by 1091 points. With a highly exciting and important set of events lined up, ahead of the second Grand Slam of the year, Aryna Sabalenka will be desperate to regain her form and get back to winning ways.
