And in the build-up to the popular spooky holiday, Stuhlmann revealed her reasons behind the cosplay and explained her likeness to her was a part of the inspiration.
She told NeedToKnow.online: “Sabatini was one of the leading players in the mid-80s through the mid-90s.
“Not only was she a champion and Hall of Famer but she’s done so much charitable work.
“She’s also inspired me as a businesswoman.
“I love perfume so I always loved that she had her own perfume line.
“I have been told a variety of times in my career that I resemble Gabriela, which has always been a fun compliment for me.”
Sabatini won one tennis major during her singles career – the 1990 US Open – while she also added a Wimbledon winners medal in the doubles category.
She featured in a number of finals and semi-finals but was never able to add another major single’s title to the trophy cabinet.
Her niece, Oriana Sabatini, is also dating Roma ace Paulo Dybala.
Meanwhile, Stuhlmann, 30, recently confessed her love for the British accent.
She said: “I’ve met a few British guys on the tour, and they are all so nice and charming.
“I love the accent. It melts me.”
The ex-tennis pro swapped the racket for modelling in the hopes of emulating golf influencer Paige Spiranac.
The American stunner recently celebrated her birthday with a delicious looking cake which she showed off on Instagram for her 229,000 followers
