Alexander Zverev’s girlfriend Sophia Thomalla shares gym mirror selfie, flaunts progress after weeks of consistency

Alexander Zverev’s South American Swing: Ups and Downs on Clay

Alexander Zverev has been on an early clay-court swing in South America, opting for a different schedule than most top players who remained on hard courts. After his Australian Open final loss to Jannik Sinner, the World No. 2 transitioned to clay events in Argentina, Brazil, and now Mexico.

While Zverev has had mixed results on this tour, his girlfriend, Sophia Thomalla, has been accompanying him, sharing gym mirror selfies from different locations along the way. Most recently, she posted from Acapulco, highlighting her fitness progress with the caption:

“A few weeks and creatin make a difference.”

Zverev’s Results in South America

• Argentina Open (Buenos Aires, ATP 250):
  • 2nd Round: Def. Dusan Lajovic (6-4, 6-4)
  • Quarterfinals: Lost to Francisco Cerundolo (3-6, 6-2, 3-6)
  • Crowd Controversy: Zverev clashed with the Argentine crowd, saying:
    

    “Respect the players a little bit.”

    • After the match, he added:
      

      “The crowd doesn’t know how to behave during a tennis match, and that’s a bit sad.”

• Rio Open (ATP 500, Brazil):
  • 2nd Round: Def. Yunchaokete Bu (6-4, 6-4)
  • Quarterfinals: Lost to Francisco Comesana
• Mexican Open (Acapulco, ATP 500):
  • 1st Round: Def. Matteo Arnaldi
  • 2nd Round (Upcoming): Faces Learner Tien

What’s Next for Zverev?

After his early clay swing, Zverev will likely shift back to hard courts for the Indian Wells and Miami Masters—two key ATP 1000 tournaments where he will aim to regain momentum. His clay-court focus could also signal his ambitions for the French Open, but first, he’ll look to improve his form in Acapulco and beyond.
