Alexander Zverev, the German tennis star, is currently enjoying a well-deserved vacation after a demanding 2024 season. The year saw him clinch titles at the Italian Open and Paris Masters, as well as reach the Roland Garros final. Despite some setbacks during the hard court swing and Asian tour, Zverev’s impressive performances throughout the year have earned him this much-needed break. Zverev is now unwinding with sea and sunshine.

Alexander Zverev shared the vacation update with a serene post on his Instagram account. The World No.2 headed to Maldives, just like last time, after his unsuccessful campaign at the ATP Finals, in Turin. In the story shared by Zverev, one can see the sunset filling the sky, and calm water competing with the scenery at Jaoli Being, the first wellbeing island of its kind in the Maldives. What is more astounding is the fact that this might be his 4th time in Maldives. Moreover, he is not alone.

Zverev is spending some quality time with his father, Alexander Zverev Sr. and Marcelo Melo, his doubles partner. The trio has been spotted engaging in friendly tennis matches on the sandy shores. Zverev shared a video of their beach tennis session on social media, playfully captioning it “Holidays started but the competition continues 🦁vs🦒.” The lion emoji symbolizes his competitive nature, while the giraffe likely represents Melo’s tall stature.

Last year too, Zverev ended his season as the World No.7 and headed to Maldives with his girlfriend, Sophia Thomala to relax and rejuvenate. And to shed off the stress from the intense season, Zverev opted for sea diving. However, it seems that the Island nation is his favorite destination as a fan account kept track of Zverev’s Maldives outing. They said, “3d year in a row on Maldives together 🥹❤️‍🔥🧸🐍🏝️deserved romantic vacation time after a hard year’s work for these two, rest good sweeties!😚”\

Moreover, it’s not just Alexander Zverev, who is star-struck by Maldives’ beauty. Both Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic have vacationed in the island nation at the same time back in 2020. And this time, his timings clash with the World No.4, Italian star, Jasmine Paolini!

After Alexander Zverev, Paolini vacations at the Maldives as she leaves the WTA controversy behind

Like every year, the WTA announced their nomination for various categories. The Italian star featured in the Player of the Year, and the Doubles Team of the Year. However, Paolini was not nominated for Most Improved Player of the Year, which featured Danielle Collins, Emma Navarro, Anna Kalinskaya, Diana Shnaider, and Marta Kostyuk. However, the Italian star focused on the brighter side.

Following a triumphant year, which included winning the Billie Jean King Cup with Italy and Olympic gold in women’s doubles with Sara Errani, Jasmine Paolini has jetted off to the Maldives for a well-deserved break. The Italian tennis star shared a delightful Instagram reel of herself diving into the crystal-clear waters of Siyam World Maldives, accompanied by the playful caption, “Sliding into the vacation like…. 😂🐬.”

After having an amazing year, Jasmine Paolini is sliding into the vacation in the vast ocean of Maldives, just like Alexander Zverev!
