Sophia Thomalla, girlfriend of German tennis star Alexander Zverev, shared a personal moment on social media ahead of his Wimbledon semifinal match on July 10. Thomalla posted a selfie to her Instagram story featuring the couple's new dachshund, Buba, resting on her shoulder.
The image was shared as Zverev prepared to face England's Arthur Fery in the Wimbledon semifinals. Zverev, currently ranked world No. 3 by the ATP, recently secured his first major tournament title by winning the French Open in June. This victory concluded a long-standing narrative questioning his ability to perform under pressure in significant matches.
Thomalla was present for Zverev's French Open triumph, traveling from Germany to Paris to celebrate his win. The couple, together since 2020, reportedly acquired their new dachshund, Buba, shortly after the French Open. They also own another dachshund named Mishka.
Zverev's path to a potential Wimbledon title includes his semifinal match against Fery, who is ranked 114th in the world. Should he advance, he could face either Novak Djokovic or Jannik Sinner in the final.
