Tennis Player Aryna Sabalenka Poses Topless, But Fans Focus On Her 'Frightening' Lips

Aryna Sabalenka might be one of the fiercest names in women's tennis, but her latest social media post had nothing to do with the court.

The 27-year-old Belarusian athlete posed topless in a sultry selfie that set off a storm of reactions, but not all of them were flattering. In the photo, the tennis star stares directly into the camera with tousled, beachy blonde waves falling over her shoulders. Her skin looks sun-kissed, and she wears nothing but layered gold necklaces featuring small pendants.

With one arm raised above her head and her hair slightly messy, Aryna Sabalenka goes for a raw, undone vibe in what should have been a striking, natural portrait.

But fans in the Daily Mail comments couldn't get past one detail: her lips.

"Maybe if she wouldn't spend so much time posing and doing naked selfies, she might be able to tidy up her room. What a slob with big lips?" one person harshly wrote, pointing out the cluttered background as well.

Another accused the athlete of going too far with cosmetic enhancements, commenting, "I don't think she got the message that less plastic surgery is better. That also means less injections. The trout pout is old and tired-looking and makes the woman look terrible."

The criticism didn't stop there. "I can't get over the bad lip filler. 100s of dollars to look like a duck lol," one user mocked, while another simply wrote, "She's pretty frightening yuck."

One blunt question seemed to sum up much of the reaction: "What's with the lips?"

The backlash didn't stop on the Daily Mail thread. Over on Aryna Sabalenka's own Instagram post, fans continued to call out her lips, with many urging the tennis star to ditch the filler.

"Stop with the lips, my daughter is 19, too much filler, stop it. You're too pretty and beautiful, too much," one commenter pleaded.

Another was more blunt, "Idk what TF anyone finds sexy about those lips."

Sabalenka has never shied away from flaunting her confidence online, and a recent Instagram post only added fuel to the conversation. The tennis champ shared a shot of herself posing in a string bikini while standing on rocky shores, one arm raised toward the sky as yachts and turquoise water glistened in the background.

The picturesque photo racked up nearly 300,000 likes, with many fans more focused on the scenery than her appearance.

"Woww what a beautiful place to be," one person wrote, while another admitted, "You have always been my number one."

Aryna Sabalenka also turned heads with a post last September, showing off her toned physique in a bright green bikini while standing on a dock overlooking crystal-blue waters. With her hair pulled back in a ponytail, the tennis star struck a model-like pose, gazing out at the ocean as waves crashed against the rocks below.

The caption revealed a playful side, with Sabalenka joking about her relationship, "Training @georgiosfrangulis to be an IG boyfriend." The post quickly racked up over 314,000 likes and a flood of comments praising both her looks and the stunning backdrop.

"Incredible," one fan gushed, while another added, "Muito gostosa maravilhosa," translating to "very hot, wonderful."

Another simply wrote, "Boobs."

Aryna Sabalenka also gave fans a glimpse of her downtime last summer, sharing a relaxed beachside snap from July 2024. In the photo, the tennis star is stretched out on a lounge chair in a white bikini, her legs in full view against the backdrop of turquoise waves and a bright blue sky.

She kept the caption simple, just "Hydrating" with a water emoji, but her followers had plenty more to say.

"She's vision of PERFECTION!" one gushed, while another wrote, "Beau bb."

Others flooded the comments with hearts and flirty messages. One fan went all out, writing, "You look great in your white bikini, love it."
