Sophia Thomalla in Greece - supports Zverev from afar!

On May 31, 2025, Alexander Zverev faces a major challenge in the third round of the French Open. The German tennis player meets Flavio Cobolli while his girlfriend Sophia Thomalla is watching away. The couple has been together since 2021, but has to deal with the challenge of finding time for each other because of their intensive travel. While Zverev is fighting for the quarter-finals in Paris, Thomalla is employed on the Greek island of Paros, where she as a moderator for the RTL dating show "Are You The One?" turns, and will follow the match on the television. Usually she accompanies Zverev at tournaments and supports him on site, but this time she has to cheer on from a distance.

Zverev is in a difficult phase and has to fight with shape problems and dwindling self -confidence. The situation is particularly challenging because he has to defend numerous points after losing the French Open against Carlos Alcaraz last year. In order to reduce the pressure on Zverev, he is supported by his father, Alexander Zverev Senior, and his brother Mischa during the decisive game. A victory against Cobolli could catapult him up to the career ladder and secure a place in the front ranks of the ATP world rankings.

This is a goal that is of the utmost importance for many tennis players. Thomalla has already announced that she could be in Paris on Sunday if Zverev reached the final, which has hope for a reunion.

While the tennis world is banned on the performance development of Zverev, it remains to be seen how the situation for the couple is developing.
