Tennis star Alexander Zverev is known for his outstanding athletic achievements. However, he doesn’t enjoy the best reputation in Germany due to his aloof or impulsive behavior at times. A newly released documentary on the streaming platform RTL + aims to change people’s perception of him. Named “Zverev – The Unfinished,” it sheds light on Zverev from a personal perspective.
According to Zverev, it’s challenging to reveal his personality, as he has to put on a mask as soon as he goes on the court. It’s not just about his career and family roots, but the documentary also highlights his relationship with girlfriend Sophia Thomalla. The couple became official in October 2021.
The way the couple met is not a romantic story, as explained by the moderator. They were introduced to each other by mutual friends. They talked and realized that they could make it work. However, leading the relationship is not easy for them. Thomalla says that their life models are two drastically different ones, with Zverev’s incredible sports streak and her inconsistent life.
Despite these challenges, Zverev knows how to fill the hole in Thomalla’s life by being there for her all the time, and she needs someone to talk to and share her life experiences. On the other hand, Thomalla also plays an essential role in the Olympic champion’s life. She supported him when he injured his ankle and gave him a chance to take a step back and realize that there’s more to life than just tennis.
Overall, the documentary humanizes Zverev and proves that there’s more to him than people’s assumptions about him.
