Alexander Zverev is in the final of the French Open for the first time and has the chance to win his first Grand Slam. Numerous celebrities are happy for the German tennis star – especially his girlfriend Sophia Thomalla, who cannot be there to cheer him on.
After Zverev’s victory, the 34-year-old posted a picture of him in her Instagram story and wrote the abbreviation for “Oh my God” above it. She also added an emoji with heart eyes and a muscle arm. Nevertheless, it must not have been easy for Thomalla to follow the spectacular match against Norwegian Casper Ruud from a distance. After all, it was three o’clock in the morning when Zverev’s place in the final was confirmed at 10 p.m. Central European Time.

This is why Sophia Thomalla will miss the French Open final
The presenter is currently in Asia, filming on the island of Ko Samui for the RTL show “Are You the One?” The couple are separated by a five-hour time difference and around 12,000 kilometers as the crow flies.
But Zverev has many other fans in the world of sports and celebrities: Under an Instagram post in which the tennis star celebrated his entry with the words “This final feeling” and three flame emojis, TV presenter Kai Pflaume commented with “One more to go” and several emojis.
Reality star Carmen Geiss wrote: “Now I’m sure you’ll rock the final.” And national soccer player Toni Kroos noted: “The job isn’t done yet.” Biathlete Franziska Hildebrand commented: “Very, very strong, fingers crossed for the last dance.”
Zverev expects a very difficult match
Olympic tennis champion Alexander Zverev will face the six-year-younger Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz, who has already won two Grand Slam titles, in the battle for the coveted “Coupe des Mousquetaires” on Sunday afternoon (June 9, from 3 p.m.) in Roland Garros: He won the US Open in 2022 as the youngest number 1 in the world rankings, and in 2023 Alcaraz triumphed at Wimbledon.
Zverev himself is happy about reaching the final, but also knows that it will be a difficult match: “I believe that there are no easy matches and no easy opponents in a Grand Slam final,” he said in an interview after his semi-final victory. “If you are in the final of Roland Garros, then you deserve it. That also applies to Alcaraz. He played a fantastic match today and a fantastic tournament in general. I expect a very difficult match.”■
