Aryna Sabalenka meets David Beckham at Miami soccer game

Aryna Sabalenka got to meet a football (⚽️) legend over the weekend when she attended an Inter Miami CF game in Florida.

Fresh off winning her first Miami Open title, Sabalenka arrived to the Chase Stadium and came face to face with the one and only David Beckham, receiving a custom jersey bearing her signature No. 1.

“I like the number,” joked the top-ranked Sabalenka in a video captured on the team’s official social media.

“It’s so good to be at home, and winning the title is just amazing,” she said later, “and now getting to attend another sport. I just feel so happy right now.”

Sabalenka has met her share of celebrities since winning her first major title at the 2023 Australian Open, attending that year’s Vogue World event and 2024 New York Fashion Week in the wake of her US Open victory.

“This is the dream life,” she said last fall. “I really love my job, for the opportunities to meet great people and learn from the greatest people in the world.”

When she wasn’t rubbing elbows with the rich and famous, Sabalenka took the week to not only decompress from winning her first WTA 1000 title of the season, but also prepare for the clay-court season, where she enjoyed strong results in 2024—reaching back-to-back finals at the Mutua Madrid Open and Internazionali BNL d’Italia.

Might the world No. 1 find more time for football when she returns to Europe?
