Sophia Thomalla, Alexander Zverev’s girlfriend, recently voiced her joy when the German clinched a berth in the coveted 2023 ATP Finals. Zverev, who won the championship in 2018 and 2021, will compete in the season-ending event in Turin among seven other strong players.

Zverev joins Novak Djokovic, Daniil Medvedev, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, and Andrey Rublev as the sixth player to qualify for the ATP Finals. Holger Rune took the eighth and final slot.

Zverev had a fantastic season in 2023, winning 53 matches and two championships (Chengdu and Hamburg), as well as reaching the French Open semifinals and US Open quarterfinals. He is now rated No. 9 in the world but has risen as high as No. 2 in 2022.

After missing last year’s Finals due to a career-threatening ankle injury acquired during the 2022 Roland Garros quarterfinals against Rafael Nadal, the 26-year-old qualified for the sixth time, he missed the entire season due to the injury, but he returned in January 2023.

Thomalla, who has been dating Zverev since 2020, announced Zverev’s ATP Finals qualifying on her Instagram story on Saturday, November 4.

“Proud ?,” Thomalla wrote.

A look back at Alexander Zverev’s ATP Finals performance over the years.

Alexander Zverev has become one of the most consistent and successful ATP Finals participants. Zverev previously qualified for the event five years in a row (2017-2021) and won it twice – in 2018 and 2021.

Zverev made his debut participation in the ATP Finals in 2017, where he was eliminated in the group round. The next year, he improved on his previous performance by overcoming Roger Federer in the quarterfinals and then defeating World No. 1 Novak Djokovic in the final, 6-4, 6-3.

In 2019, Zverev reached the semifinals before losing in straight sets against Dominic Thiem, 7-5, 6-3. On his way to the last four, he overcame Rafael Nadal, Stefanos Tsitsipas, and Daniil Medvedev.

The 26-year-old did not go past the round-robin stage in 2020. He won two matches, against Diego Schwartzman and Medvedev, but lost in straight sets against Djokovic, 6-3, 7-6(4).

The German, now an Olympic gold champion, then won four of five matches at the 2021 ATP Finals, only losing to Medvedev in the second round robin. In the final, Alexander Zverev defeated reigning champion Dmitry Medvedev in straight sets, 6-4, 6-4.
