Speaking after winning 2024 Cincinnati Open, world number two Aryna Sabalenka mistakenly said "boyfriends" instead of "boyfriend" and blamed her "terrible English" for the error. "Thank you to my boyfriend (Georgios Frangulis) for keeping me happy everyday," she stated during the trophy presentation ceremony. Sabalenka defeated Jessica Pegula with a scoreline of 6-3, 7-5 to claim the title.
