Alexander Zverev impresses Brazilian supermodel Francisco Lachowski with “lucky” three-pointer while attending Heat vs Pistons
Alexander Zverev Stuns Francisco Lachowski with Impressive Three-Pointer at Miami Heat Game
Alexander Zverev showcased his basketball skills, leaving Francisco Lachowski in awe after effortlessly sinking a three-pointer. The German tennis star and the Brazilian supermodel attended the NBA clash between the Miami Heat and Detroit Pistons at the Kaseya Center.
Zverev Enjoys NBA Action Ahead of Miami Open
Zverev is in Miami preparing for the 2025 Miami Masters, the second leg of the Sunshine Double following Indian Wells. As the top seed, the 27-year-old took some time off to enjoy the high-energy atmosphere of an NBA showdown.
The Miami Heat fell short in a 113-116 loss despite strong performances from Bam Adebayo (30 points) and Tyler Herro (29 points). The Pistons, led by Cade Cunningham (25 points), managed to pull off the victory. While the Heat struggles at 10th place in the Eastern Conference, the Pistons remain in contention for a playoff spot.
Zverev Impresses with a Smooth Three-Pointer
While attending the game, Zverev took a shot—literally. He and Francisco Lachowski (known affectionately as Chico by fans) tried their luck from beyond the arc. Lachowski’s shot bounced off the rim, but Zverev effortlessly drained his three-pointer, impressing the supermodel.
However, the World No. 2 remained humble, brushing it off as “just lucky.”
This wasn’t Zverev’s first NBA outing in Miami—he also attended the Heat vs. Celtics matchup, where Boston secured a 103-91 victory. His girlfriend, Sophia Thomalla, shared an image of him enjoying the game on her Instagram story.
Zverev Seeks Redemption at Miami Open
Zverev’s early arrival in Miami wasn’t exactly planned—it was a result of his unexpected exit at Indian Wells, where he squandered a one-set lead against Tallon Griekspoor. Since his Australian Open final loss to Jannik Sinner, he has struggled to progress beyond the quarterfinals in his last four events.
“I’m Just Not Playing Good Tennis Right Now”—Zverev’s Honest Confession
After his second-round loss at Indian Wells, Zverev was asked if his poor form was still affected by his disappointing Australian Open final. His response was candid:
“Maybe a little bit, but I can sit here and make excuses, or I can be honest—I’m just not playing good tennis at the moment. It’s as simple as that.”
“I’m not playing at the level I want to play. Definitely nowhere near what I played in Australia. Maybe that’s part of it, but in the end, I’m just disappointed with my game.”
With the Miami Open on the horizon, Zverev is determined to turn things around. As the top seed, he will face the winner of Benjamin Bonzi vs. Jacob Fearnley in his opening match.
Can Zverev break his slump and rediscover his top form in Miami?
