But that&#8217;s all in the rearview mirror now, which has got to feel good for him <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/onsi\/athlete-lifestyle\/news\/alexander-zverev-girlfriend-sophia-thomalla-has-emotional-french-open-win-reaction\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">and those close to him<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/01ktjgdp9r3eh86y2bx0.jpg\" alt=\"Alexander Zverev of Germany\" title=\"Alexander Zverev of Germany\" width=\"360\" height=\"360\" class=\"undefined w-full w-full blur-[5px]\" q:id=\"68\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Alexander Zverev of Germany | Susan Mullane-Imagn Images<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6c\">Nobody is closer to Zverev than his longtime girlfriend, Sophia Thomalla. She has been by his side since 2021 and therefore got to witness how agonizingly close Zverev came to winning several major championships to this point before ultimately coming up short.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6f\">Unfortunately, Thomalla wasn&#8217;t able to attend this year&#8217;s championship, given her own busy career and schedule in Germany. But reports surfaced Sunday morning that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/onsi\/athlete-lifestyle\/news\/why-alexander-zverev-girlfriend-sophia-thomalla-isnt-at-french-open-final-cobolli\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Thomalla intended to fly private<\/a> from Germany to Paris to celebrate with Zverev in case he did end up winning the French Open earlier in the day. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/01kmnbrgyfts0dr0jan2.jpg\" alt=\"Alexander Zverev and Sophia Thomalla\" title=\"Alexander Zverev and Sophia Thomalla\" width=\"360\" height=\"360\" class=\"undefined w-full w-full blur-[5px]\" q:id=\"6p\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Alexander Zverev and Sophia Thomalla | IMAGO \/ Poolfoto<\/p>\n<p>Alexander Zverev&#8217;s Girlfriend Sophia Thomalla Heads to Paris After French Open Win<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6w\">And these reports proved true. This was conveyed with a post that Thomalla made <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sophiathomalla\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">to her Instagram<\/a> story on June 7, which showed her in an airplane.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6z\">She was holding up a peace sign and had a big smile while wearing a black top. The photo is captioned, &#8220;Paris calling! \ud83c\udfc6\ud83d\ude0d&#8221; showing that she is indeed heading to France to celebrate with Zverev. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"76\">It will be interesting to see what Zverev, Thomalla, and everyone else who&#8217;s a part of his camp will get up to as the celebrations begin on Sunday and Monday. It will be also to see whether any of this celebration is documented or if the group prefers to keep things more private. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-12\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"79\">Regardless, this has been long awaited and is surely something that Zverev is going to savor \u2014especially not with Thomalla able to join him.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.minutemediacdn.com\/platform\/google_discover_icon.svg\" class=\"shrink-0\"\/>Add us as a preferred source on Google<a aria-label=\"Follow si.com on Google News\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=si.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"flex h-[30px] w-[30px] shrink-0 items-center justify-center rounded-full bg-primary font-group-large text-sm font-medium text-white transition-colors hover:bg-secondary focus:bg-secondary md:w-auto md:gap-2.5 md:px-4 md:py-[5px]\">Follow<\/a><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One would imagine that German tennis star Alexander Zverev has kick-started the celebration after the biggest win of&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":466926,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[111,139,69,213],"class_list":["post-466925","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/466925","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=466925"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/466925\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/466926"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=466925"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=466925"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=466925"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
