Alexander Zverev is a stable top5 player who seems to be closer and closer to winning his maiden slam. That may happen at the current Australian Open. Here is a short bio with reference to his bio, coach, father, brother, net worth, daughter, and girlfriend.
Zverev was born in Hamburg, Germany, on the 20th of April 1997 to his Russian parents, Irina Zvereva and Alexander Mikhailovich Zverev. Sascha has an older brother, Mischa, who is almost 10 years older and is also a pro tennis player. Both parents used to be professional tennis players representing the Soviet Union. His father had a world no.175 high rank.
Irina went to Germany to compete at a tournament back in 1990, with her husband accompanying as her coach. On that occasion, they were offered tennis jobs as tennis instructors. Eventually, they accepted to coach at the Uhlenhorster Hockey Club in Hamburg.
Sascha started playing tennis when he was just 3, and he has been practicing every day since he was 5. In the beginning, Sascha was coached by his mother while his father was focussing on Mischa. Sascha turned pro when he was in 2013 and he is now permanently coached by his father. Zverev later tried to hire celebrity coaches such as Juan Martin Ferrero, Ivan Lendle, and David Ferrer but for different reasons, none of them enjoyed a long partnership with the German.
Girlfriends and daughter
At just 24 years of age, Sascha had very tricky relationships with his former girlfriends, hitting the headlines multiple times. The young German already has a daughter with his former girlfriend, Brenda Patea. They split soon after she got pregnant.
Unfortunately, Sascha was publicly accused of domestic violence by another former girlfriend, Olya Sharypova. Her accusations were unproven and Zverev has always denied any wrongdoing.
Sascha is now dating his new girlfriend, Sophia Thomalla, who is 8 years his senior.
After winning 19 titles, Sascha Zverev has already accumulated US$30,047,875 in prize money. His net worth is estimated at $17,000,000, but that has to be revised upward.
