They are currently in London and Alexander Zverev is all set to take on America’s Taylor Fritz in the R16 of Wimbledon. Sophia Thomalla was also spotted at the venue, but surprisingly, she seems to be deliberately keeping a low profile this time. No flashy outfits in the box; instead, she donned a simple white tracksuit jacket. During a recent interview with the German tabloid newspaper Bild, Zverev reflected a bit on what Sophia Thomalla means to him.

She knows what a tennis professional needs and when pays attention to my diet, takes care of almost everything for me at home, organizes a lot, which, of course, helps.” Previously the tennis star had often spoken about how important it is for the players to have the right person beside them. In 2021, he said, “Sophia is someone who gives me peace and security.” He also didn’t forget to mention that he feels he “plays extremely well” with her behind him.

Alexander Zverev’s girlfriend reflects her thoughts on the negative comments

Alexander Zverev and Sophia Thomalla have faced negative comments multiple times due to their age gap of nearly seven years. However, age is just a number, right? Speaking on the same, Thomalla said, “I don’t think anything of it. It doesn’t really matter to me and it was clear to me from the start that people are suspicious. Even if it had only lasted a month, it wouldn’t have mattered to me.Apart from all these maintaining a healthy relationship in the middle of hectic schedules during the Tour is always challenging for tennis players.

While speaking on this during the documentary, “Zverev: Der Unvollendete‘, Thomalla admitted, “We don’t have a simple life together. Alex, with the incredible amount of sports he has and the continuity he has to go through again and again – and my life is anything but continuous. It’s not 24/7 red roses now.” However, she also spoke about how Zverev is always there for her and how she can talk to him about anything, anytime. Alexander Zverev also expressed his gratitude for her presence in his life, saying that she made him realize there is more to life than just tennis.
