From Greece to grass: 'Recharged' Aryna Sabalenka kicks off Wimbledon prep after illness

All work and no play makes Aryna a dull world No. 3. After illness curtailed her hopes of playing during the second weekend at Roland Garros, Aryna Sabalenka is back to full health after a recent vacation in Greece.

Sabalenka was plagued a stomach bug for what she said was "a few days" prior to her quarterfinal loss to Mirra Andreeva in Paris, in which she looked visibly ailing over two hours and 29 minutes on Court Philippe-Chatrier. She received medical attention more than once in the three-set affair, in which she led by a set, as she was often found doubled over and winded between points.

But it wasn't anything that a little "vitamin sea" couldn't cure: Sabalenka jetted off for a relaxing getaway to "recharge," and took fans along with her through multiple photo dumps on Instagram. They showcased her soaking up the sun on the beach, chowing down on gyros, and enjoying picturesque sunset views.

"A little slice of paradise," she captioned one post, which showcased her dancing in a bikini and drinking white wine.

Following her self-described "reset," Sabalenka was ready to his the grass courts, and the two-time Wimbledon semifinalist stopped by the All-England Club to officially start her road to the year's third Grand Slam.

After falling two matches short of the goal last year, the 26-year-old is hoping to be the first player since Serena Williams in 2015 to win the Australian Open and Wimbledon in the same year.

But Sabalenka has one more stop on the agenda before she returns to SW19 to compete again: next week's ecotrans Ladies Open in Berlin.

After world No. 1 Iga Swiatek announced her withdrawal from the tournament on Wednesday due to "overall physical and mental fatigue after an intense nine weeks," Sabalenka is expected to be the second seed behind newly-minted world No. 2 Coco Gauff. (Roland Garros finalist Jasmine Paolini has also withdrawn due to injury, but eight of this week's Top 10 are still signed up.)

The WTA 500 event begins on Monday.
