The No.2 ranked player in the world and 2024 Australian Open title holder introduced her own wholesome creation: the "POWER SERVE BOWL by Sabalenka" – her first signature açaí bowl, at the flagship OAKBERRY store in New York City on Tuesday August 20, ahead of her campaign to claim a highly contested US Open title. To celebrate the nationwide launch, Sabalenka welcomed a throng of delighted tennis fans and avid OAKBERRY invitees behind the counter at the OAKBERRY store on Lexington Avenue, where she personally served-up the nutritious blend for all those in attendance, to commemorate the roll-out of her debut signature açaí bowl in all OAKBERRY stores across the country.

To honor the unique partnership and Sabalenka's inaugural creation with OAKBERRY, the company is offering a 30% discount on the POWER SERVE BOWL by Sabalenka during every one of Aryna's matches played at the US Open–when ordering the signature açaí bowl through the new OAKBERRY App, for pick-up or delivery between August 20 and September 13.

"OAKBERRY has been my go-to source of nutrition when training for competition or when relaxing with friends," says Sabalenka. "I'm very excited to have the opportunity to create my first signature açaí bowl with my favorite chosen ingredients that I rely on to fuel my body all year round. I was thrilled to serve my own bowl to everyone who showed-up at the store in New York for the first time, and I can't wait to see the reactions on social media when OAKBERRY gives fans everywhere the chance to try it out."

"Aryna is the perfect champion for OAKBERRY, as someone who aligns herself with our core values in health and nutrition," says Bruno Cardinali, Global Head of Marketing at OAKBERRY. "We're delighted to introduce the POWER SERVE BOWL by Sabalenka exclusively to tennis fans and our OAKBERRY followers in New York, and we invite everyone to follow Aryna's progress at the US Open while fueling themselves during an exciting two weeks of tennis."
