Alexander Zverev's French Open win sparks relationship speculation

Alexander Zverev captured his first Grand Slam title at the 2026 French Open in Paris, becoming the first German champion since Boris Becker. His partner, actress and TV personality Sophia Thomalla, was absent from the final, citing rehearsals for the upcoming "Let’s Dance" Christmas show in Cologne. German comedian Oliver Pocher, a longtime friend of Zverev, highlighted the situation on his podcast with Pietro Lombardi, saying he was unsure whether the couple remains together and questioning the timing of Thomalla's absence. Pocher emphasized his close bond with Zverev, noting he was among the first to greet the champion after his victory and that they have traveled together for years.
