Zverev and Thomalla: A High-Profile Duo with Family Plans
Aspires for a substantial, extended household - Zverev's ambition revealed.
Tennis superstar Alexander Zverev aspires to have a large family in the future. The globe's second-ranked player expressed this in an interview with Johannes B. Kerner on MagentaTV, mentioning his girlfriend, actress and model Sophia Thomalla, as a potential partner[1].
In the interview, Zverev revealed his nurturing side and sensitivity. "I'm a very soft person, emotional and caring," he said. However, he acknowledged the challenges maintaining a balance between his family aspirations and his tennis career[1]. "Being away from home for months could be tough with a whole family to look after," Zverev admitted.
Sophia Thomalla, a significant figure in his life, has been a supportive partner to him on and off the court[1]. While there's no recent confirmation about specific family plans, the couple often shares their life events on social media[1][2]. Thomalla, also known for her acting career and modeling gigs, routinely attends ATP tour events with Zverev[1].
In terms of eating habits, Zverev revealed an unexpected fact. In a sausage-eating competition with his older brother Mischa Zverev, Alexander usually emerges victorious. Despite being a diabetic, he admitted to having a odd relationship with food. “I eat incredibly little, I have to be forced to eat,” Zverev acknowledged[4].
Living in Monaco, Zverev hasn't forgotten his roots – he considers Hamburg his home[4]. Meanwhile, he continues to exhibit superstitious habits on the tennis court, wearing three necklaces during matches, a personal ritual he never breaks[4].
Despite their hectic schedules and public appearances, the couple maintains a loving relationship. In his interview with MagentaTV, Zverev discussed some quirkier aspects of their life together, such as his bedtime routine that annoys Thomalla[4].

I'm not going to be able to do this, as maintaining a balance between my family aspirations and my tennis career seems challenging, especially when being away from home for months could be tough with a whole family to look after.
