Sophia Thomalla Joins Alexander Zverev in Argentina Ahead of ATP 250 Debut
Sophia Thomalla, the longtime girlfriend of Alexander Zverev, is in Argentina supporting the World No. 2 as he prepares for his debut at the Argentina Open next week.
The 35-year-old model, actress, and television presenter shared a gym mirror selfie on her Instagram Stories, showcasing her stylish workout look—a white tank top and high-waisted black leggings. Her caption, written in German, humorously expressed her surprise at making it to the gym:
“I can’t believe I actually made it to the gym.”
Thomalla’s Background & Support for Zverev
Thomalla, who comes from a family of actors, began her entertainment career at 18 before transitioning into modeling. She gained significant recognition after ranking third on FHM’s “Sexiest Women” list and appearing in the German edition of Playboy. With over 1.4 million Instagram followers, she has built an impressive social media presence.
Since 2021, she has been a constant presence on the tennis tour, cheering for Zverev at major events, including the 2024 Australian Open, where he suffered a heartbreaking loss to Jannik Sinner in the final.
Thomalla on Zverev’s Superstitions: “I Get the Urge to Cry Every Night”
Thomalla recently opened up about Zverev’s unusual bedtime habits, revealing how his strict pre-sleep rituals sometimes frustrate her.
In an interview with RTL, she expressed her thoughts on superstitions, calling them a “sign of weakness”:
“Because you cling to certain rituals just because you don’t have faith in yourself.”
She then described Zverev’s repetitive nighttime routine, admitting it often drives her to the brink of frustration:
“Every evening, before he goes to bed, he goes to the toilet three times, and then back to bed, back and forth like that.”
“And then the chains are put in place. I get the urge to cry every night and think to myself: now just come to bed.”
Zverev Prepares for Argentina Open Amid Tough Competition
While many European stars are competing in Rotterdam and American players have chosen Dallas, Zverev opted to begin his clay-court season in South America.
The Argentina Open will mark his first tournament since the Australian Open final, as he looks to rebound from his third Grand Slam final defeat and claim his first Major title in 2025.
Will Zverev’s superstitions and Thomalla’s unwavering support help him secure success in Argentina? 🎾🔥
