Aryna Sabalenka is at home in Miami gearing up for the last push of the WTA Tour season, but the world No. 1 is still in high demand on and off the court.

A day after posting up a storm on Instagram showing off her new ride—a dreamy blue Lamborghini Urus—Sabalenka was back on social media to share a snap with one of the most followed people on the platform, soccer megastar David Beckham.

“Low Key Miami Morning,” Sabalenka wrote in a caption, posting the pair posed together in casual athletic apparel as the reflection off a nearby art piece offered a glimpse of Miami’s pristine waterfront.

“So lovely to meet you Aryna,” Beckham replied in the comments. The former Real Madrid star, who is the focus of the new Netflix documentary Beckham, is based in Miami, and is one of the owners of MLS team Inter Miami, who recently signed Lionel Messi in a headline-grabbing transfer.

World No. 1 Sabalenka, one of the players profiled on Netflix’s Break Point, also lives and trains in Miami, frequently posting training videos from the Evert Tennis Academy in South Florida.

While we await to learn more about a potential Beckham-Sabalenka collab, the Belarusian’s busy Miami day continued as she later hit the tennis courts with another famous David—this time, David Grutman, entrepreneur and co-owner of Prince.

Amid a few videos showing the pair rallying in singles and doubles, Sabalenka and Grutman also joined up with Jimmy Bolletieri—son of the late renowned tennis coach Nick Bolletieri—to share some of their “life lessons”.

“You make your own luck… That’s it!” Sabalenka said with a grin.

Sabalenka and Grutman recently teamed up for a game of doubles in South Florida.

“Self awareness will get you where you want to go, and if not, get a little help from your friends,” Bolletieri added, quoting a line from the Beatles song.

Last year’s finalist in Fort Worth, Sabalenka was among the first four players to qualify for the WTA Finals Cancun as she prepares for her third consecutive appearance at the WTA’s season-ending event.

Sabalenka rose to world No. 1 for the first time after her run to the US Open final, where she fell in three sets to Coco Gauff. She played one tournament during the Asian Swing, reaching the quarterfinals at the China Open in Beijing before falling in two sets to Elena Rybakina.
