Sophia Thomalla’s (32) new love Alexander Zverev (24) won twice at the ATP tournament in Vienna on Saturday: First, the tennis star defeated his opponent, the Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz (18), 6: 3, 6 in the semifinals : 3 then he got a victory kiss from his Sophia to move into the final.
Game, sentence, smack!
Sophia was sitting cool in the audience with a black leather jacket and white top, while her Alexander turned his second match point after only 69 minutes. But then the model could no longer contain herself: After the match, she lovingly put her hands around Zverev’s (1.98 meters) neck and pressed him a big kiss on the lips.

It is the first time that Sophia Thomalla and Alexander Zverev kiss live on TV. The model and the tennis star only made their relationship public with a sweet Instagram post about three weeks ago.
Thomalla has been sitting in the box next to Zverev’s brother Mischa (34) and physio Hugo Gravil since the tournament began and keeps her fingers crossed for her new love. The model seems to be a real lucky charm: In the first round against Filip Krajinović (29), Zverev won 6: 2 and 7: 5. Against Alex de Minaur (22), the Hamburg tennis ace played 6: 2, 3: 6 and 6: 2. He defeated the Canadian Félix Auger-Aliassime (21) 6: 4, 3: 6 and 6: 3 before taking on Carlos Alcaraz on Saturday.
On Sunday, Zverev faces the American Frances Tiafoe (23) in the final. The winner can look forward to around two million euros in prize money. Let’s see if Thomalla’s lucky charm works again.
Incidentally, it is not Thomalla’s first tennis trip. At the beginning of their relationship, she visited her loved one while they were preparing for the tournament in Indian Wells. Back then, they fueled the rumor kitchen about their relationship.
