Sophia Thomalla, the German actress and model, posted an emotional message on Instagram after Alexander Zverev received the World No. 1 trophy ahead of the Paris Masters. Zverev secured the top ranking by defeating Tallon Griekspoor in Vienna. On November 2, ATP Chairman Andrea Gaudenzi and Paris Masters tournament director Cedric Pioline presented the trophy to the German star.
Thomalla, who has been dating Zverev since late 2020, shared a carousel post celebrating his achievement. Her caption read: "Couldn't be prouder of you. You deserve every bit of this. ❤️🏆 Nr.1!!"
At the Paris Masters, Zverev is the top seed and received a first-round bye. His second-round opponent is Lorenzo Musetti of Italy, currently ranked No. 24. Musetti holds a 3-2 head-to-head advantage over Zverev after defeating Hubert Hurkacz in the first round.
