Alexander Zverev: He is booed by fans in Brazil – but girlfriend Thomalla teases back

Tennis star Alexander Zverez (24) won both individual games at the Davies Cup in Brazil. But Sophia Thomalla’s (32) friend couldn’t really be happy about that. Because the fans in Brazil put a lot of pressure on the 24-year-old during the match. But don’t worry, his girlfriend Sophia Thomalla was there immediately.

After the game, Zverev immediately left the arena

What happened: Despite his success on Saturday evening, the Olympic tennis champion left the arena in Rio de Janeiro’s Olympic Park as quickly as possible. Zverev didn’t even celebrate entering the group phase of the Davis Cup with his team. Another puzzling appearance by the German number one, for which Alexander Zverev had an explanation.

“We were booed here the whole time, at some point it was enough,” Zverev justified his lack of celebration on the pitch after beating Monteiro 6: 1, 7: 5 and thus taking the decisive third point. It made him particularly angry that he repeatedly felt insulted by part of the audience.

Tennis star on fans in Brazil: “have crossed a line”

“The spectators have crossed a line,” said Zverev. “You can hate me, not like me. But if it goes against your family or someone you love, then a line is crossed,” said Zverev. “And that was exceeded in almost every single game here today.”

Sophia Thomalla teases Brazilian fans

After her friend’s victory, Sophia Thomalla posted a cute couple photo on Instagram and couldn’t resist the swipe at the fans. “Germany kicked your ass again,” Zverev’s girlfriend teases the Brazilian fans. After that, the German tennis star was definitely better.
