World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka celebrated her straight-sets victory over Qinwen Zheng at the Miami Open by diving into a luxurious ‘Golden Glizzy’ hot dog. The win advances her to the quarter-finals.
The Gourmet ‘Golden Glizzy’
As Sabalenka navigated the corridors of Hard Rock Stadium, staff presented her with the $100 gourmet hot dog, a tournament highlight. Packed with Australian Wagyu beef and topped with Golden Goat Caviar and gold flakes, the treat drew her immediate enthusiasm.
Sabalenka exclaimed, ‘Oh my God, thank you so much. Oh my God. Ok I’m going to go straight into it.’ After her first bite, she added, ‘It’s so f***ing good, guys. Oh my God. And I’m so hungry, that’s my recovery. Thank you!’
Indulgent Celebrations
Sabalenka frequently enjoys cheat meals, including a Five Guys visit after her Indian Wells triumph and a recent outing at a Miami restaurant owned by Bad Bunny.
The 27-year-old four-time Grand Slam champion recently got engaged to partner Georgios Frangulis, who gave her a massive diamond ring. She showcased the jewel earlier this week at Gekko, a high-end Japanese-inspired steakhouse in Miami’s Brickell district, co-owned by Bad Bunny and restaurateur David Grutman.
Sabalenka mingled with fellow players like Americans Frances Tiafoe and Taylor Fritz, Italy’s Matteo Berrettini, and Bulgaria’s Grigor Dimitrov. Guests enjoyed performances by Peggy Gou, Jencarlos Canela, and Jon George of Rüfüs Du Sol. The event, organized by Grutman’s hospitality group and DraftKings, kicked off tournament week.
Next Challenge
Sabalenka faces American Hailey Baptiste in the quarter-finals on Wednesday night.
