Sophia Thomalla, the Zverev girlfriend, posted a group photo on Instagram in hot pink while Alexander Zverev prepared for his Wimbledon semifinal. The post kept the focus on his run without changing the basics: they are still together, and she remained visible even while keeping a low profile at Wimbledon.
July 10 and 6-4, 6-4, 6-2
Zverev entered July 10 after beating Taylor Fritz 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 in the quarterfinals at Wimbledon 2026. He said, “It’s a dream come true to finally play well at Wimbledon,” then added, “I hope to play two more matches here. We’ll see how that goes, but for now extremely happy to be in a semifinal and especially [winning] against Taylor, who I haven’t beat for two years. I knew I had to play a flawless match, a perfect match, and I think I did that.”
Thomalla’s post had its own small tell. She stood out in hot pink in the second row of the photo and captioned it, “Am Ende sind wir alle einfach dieselbe WhatsApp-Gruppe. 📺,” which translates to “In the end, we are all in just the same WhatsApp group.” The image worked as a public nod to Zverev’s run without turning his tournament into a full relationship rollout.
Australian Open rumors
Rumors swirled during the Australian Open last year that Alexander Zverev and Sophia Thomalla had called it quits, but the pair kept moving through the year as a couple. In April, they marked their 5th anniversary on his birthday, and after his French Open victory last month, she said they had added a new dog to the family. They now have two mini dachshunds, Buba and Mischka, which keeps the relationship story rooted in everyday details instead of speculation.
Arthur Fery and 99%
Zverev was set to face Arthur Fery on July 10, and he said, “It’s going to be a great atmosphere” before that match. He also said, “Of course, I know that 99% of the people will be cheering for him. But I also enjoy those kind of atmospheres. I enjoy when the energy is very high.” That makes the Wimbledon semifinal as much about handling the crowd as handling the opponent, especially after Arthur Fery beat Flavio Cobolli to reach the round.
Zverev’s clean win over Fritz changed the tone of his Wimbledon week, and Thomalla’s hot pink post added a second layer of attention without pulling the story away from tennis. The useful takeaway is simple: the couple is still intact, the semifinal was the next test, and the attention around him was only going to get louder once Arthur Fery walked onto the court.
