"Sophia is someone who gives me peace and security. I play extremely well with her behind me and I hope that will continue to be the case next year and maybe even better. I haven't achieved all of my goals yet," said Alexander Zverev.

Reportedly, Zverev and Thomalla met each other through a mutual friend, and after hitting it off immediately, they started dating in 2021. The latter has been frequently seen cheering for the player from the audience box and travels with him everywhere for his matches.

His girlfriend traveled with him to Australia as well, and following this campaign, they were spotted in South America ahead of the player's Argentina Open run.
