Aryna Sabalenka<\/a> showed off her infectious charm and energy during her recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon<\/a>. However, her surprising move made her send playfully apology to the host.<\/p>\n

The World No. 1 is making the most of her visit to New York for The Garden Cup<\/a>at Madison Square Garden, where she played an exhibition match against Japanese player Naomi Osaka.<\/p>\n

Apart from this, she joined the late-night show for a special feature.<\/p>\n

The Belarusian player slayed in an all-black ensemble, looking like a rockstar in a leather coat dress paired with sheer stockings and high-heeled pointy shoes.<\/p>\n

As for her glam, she kept it understated, letting her natural beauty take center stage.<\/p>\n

During her visit, Sabalenka\u2019s playful antics left both Fallon and the audience laughing, proving she\u2019s just as daring in the spotlight as she is on the tennis court.<\/p>\n

While she is used to being asked for an autograph on just about anything, the four-time Grand Slam winner went ahead and signed the award-winning host\u2019s forehead, but promised one thing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to make it look fancy,\u201d she told Fallon, who responded with a mix of confusion and hesitation as he handed her a marker.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow do you get a Sharpie off my face?\u201d he asked, but Sabalenka assured him that it would come off, hinting that she\u2019d done it before.<\/p>\n

True to her word, the tennis star made it \u201cfancy\u201d by signing just above Fallon\u2019s eyebrow and for a second, it looked like it was a tattoo.<\/p>\n

The comment section was flooded with reactions saying it was a total vibe.<\/p>\n

\u201cIdk, I think this is a look,\u201d Wilson Tennis\u2019 official Instagram said.<\/p>\n

WTA playfully commented, saying, \u201cPlease get this tattooed, @jimmyfallon.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Sabalenka marked the special moment and posted the highlights during her appearance on the show.<\/p>\n

She shared some behind-the-scenes snaps, including meeting Emily in Paris star Lilly Collins, who was also a guest on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, and a photo of the host visiting her dressing room.<\/p>\n

The two-time US Open winner captioned her post with a playful apology to Fallon for signing his forehead.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you for having me @fallontonight. Sorry for signing your forehead @jimmyfallon,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n

Her Instagram update garnered a sweet reply from her boyfriend<\/a>, Georgios Frangulis, who said, \u201cYou killed it as always. So proud.\u201d<\/p>\n

New York has always been a favorite city of the tennis star, not only because it hosts the US Open.<\/p>\n

In her vlog<\/a>, she gushed about the city\u2019s vibrant energy and exciting chaos. Add in her love of food and the fact that most of her friends live there, and it is easy to see why New York feels like home to her.<\/p>\n
