Alexander Zverev is preparing for his opening match at the U.S. Open, with his girlfriend, actress and model Sophia Thomalla, expected to be in attendance. Thomalla recently shared a photo on Instagram from a beach, wearing a light blue outfit, captioned as being on the beach before supporting Zverev at the tournament. Although she had been filming a reality dating show in Germany, she has since wrapped production and spent time with Zverev in New York.

Thomalla and Zverev have been in a relationship since 2020. She has frequently attended his major tournaments. Zverev, who won his first Grand Slam at the French Open in June, is set to face Lorenzo Sonego in the first round of the U.S. Open. Tennis observers are anticipating whether his recent major victory will translate into a strong performance at this year's U.S. Open.
