Alexander Zverev: He shares sweet details about Sophia Thomalla

Alexander Zverev
Sweet words about his girlfriend Sophia Thomalla

Game, set and match! At the start of the ATP tournament in Vienna, Alexander Zverev, 24, defeated the Serb Filip Krajinovic, 29, but his sporting success was almost a minor matter, because everyone only had eyes for friend Sophia Thomalla, 32, who was in the game for the first time publicly chasing his box. Shortly thereafter, a rare moment happened: The tennis star got into a good mood and gave the Swiss daily “Blick” details about his relationship with the presenter.

Alexander Zverev: “Sophia is very …”

In the past few weeks, Sophia Thomalla has already expressed her new love several times. After she confirmed her relationship with the Olympic champion in 2021 with a hot smooch photo on October 8, she raved about him just a few days later in an RTL interview, making allusions to his appearance and character.

Zverev doesn’t go into the nitty-gritty, but a few sweet words were coaxed from him – a real rarity! Because in the last few weeks the professional athlete has hardly ever spoken publicly about his new girlfriend.

“She is very understanding, knows what tennis means to me and what it means to play here at this tournament,” explains Alexander on the sidelines of the Vienna “Erste Bank Open”. A possible explanation for why Thomalla has so far held back on the sidelines with expressions of love and why there have been no joint photos of the two so far.

But: Zverev still provided an explosive note. He and his Sophia have probably been in a relationship for longer than the beginning of October. “Just because it’s now public doesn’t mean we haven’t been together longer,” he reveals. Interesting!

“She knows what it means to have a relatively serious job”

The tennis player also appreciates Sophia’s lifestyle, which is likely to be very similar to his: “She knows what it means to have a relatively serious job. She is also a woman who has a lot to do, nobody who just sits in the hotel room all the time.” . Zverev, too, only hops from hotel to hotel without staying there long. Both go about their jobs. For the Sat.1 show “Let the music play”, the 32-year-old is currently not only in front of the camera with her mother’s ex-boyfriend, Silvio Heinevetter, 37. She also had to jet briefly from Vienna to Cologne.

But if Zverev wins the quarter-finals against the Canadian player Félix Auger-Aliassime, 21, on October 29, his sweetheart may even be able to keep her fingers crossed for the German number one on the sidelines in Vienna at the weekend – as last seen in her Instagram story.
