German tennis star Alexander Zverev and his model girlfriend, Sophia Thomalla, are enjoying their time in Australia as Zverev prepares for the Australian Open. Sophia shared adorable photos and videos on Instagram, including their encounter with a quokka, a marsupial from the kangaroo family.
The couple seemed to be having a great time, soaking up the sunny weather. They strolled along the beach, took a helicopter ride to admire scenic bays, and spent time with the charming quokka, even attempting to feed the cute animal.
Zverev is currently ranked No. 2 in the world. Throughout his career, he has won 23 titles but has yet to claim a Grand Slam victory.
He came closest to a major title twice, finishing as the runner-up at the US Open in 2020 and the French Open in 2024. Among his most significant achievements is the gold medal he won at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
“Of course, it was a good year. I’d never call it bad. This year, I reached the final of a Grand Slam. But did I achieve my goal? No. So, it wasn’t a success,” Zverev reflected on his past season.
