It has been a turbulent year for Alexander Zverev, not only on the court but also off the court. While he has had an inconsistent run of form, Zverev was also accused of domestic abuse by his former partner, Brenda Patea. The trial, which went on during the French Open, had a significant effect mentally on Zverev. Amid these testing times, his girlfriend, Sophia Thomalla, has been a pillar of support for him. Earlier this week, she talked about keeping her personal life a secret.

Zverev did not attend his trial in his native country due to the French Open commitments. The trial went on as he reached the summit clash in Paris and Zverev agreed to a settlement in this case. Zverev had his girlfriend’s support during his entire French Open run, although she cheered for him from a distance. Despite their close bond, the relationship between Zverev and Thomalla is unlike any other.

In this age of social media, couples can often be seen sharing their private moments on platforms such as Instagram. However, both Zverev and Thomalla prefer not to share their private life publicly and seldom give glimpses of it.

During an interview, Thomalla revealed how their relationship is different and unique. She said, “Our private life is very different from what people know about us. He actually manages it quite well. That’s why our private life is completely different from what people see and know about us.” (Translated using Google)

While not one to openly talk about things other than tennis, the German did let slip one detail when asked if he was jealous of not spending time with Thomalla.  “No, not at all. Zero point zero,” Zverev grinned. But while he’s keeping up with this three-year long relationship, he hasn’t forgotten the previous one.

Zverev has a daughter named A. Mayla, with his former partner, Brenda Patea. The German tennis star has had to shuffle between his sporting commitments, being with his girlfriend, and meeting his daughter. However, he executed all of this well following his French Open run.

Describing his plans after the French Open, Zverev mentioned, “… we’ll see, I mean, I’ll probably have a thing with flying back tomorrow in Switzerland that I’ll go to and then I’ll probably fly to Berlin coz I have you know a very important person that I want to see there which I always do after tournaments and then we’ll see.”

Subsequently, Thomalla shared a glimpse of her reunion with Zverev after the French Open as the two looked all smiles in the adorable picture. Zverev’s girlfriend had apparently been to Thailand for work due to which she was unable to make it to the French Open. Nonetheless, she will look to make amends and cheer for Zverev from the stands at Wimbledon. Who knows, this is the stroke of luck that Zverev needs to win a Grand Slam title?
