They are regularly seen together on tour and Zverev has spoken fondly of the support he receives from his partner.
Sophia, 35, is seven years older than the tennis star and also hails from Germany.
She was once a Playboy model and in 2010 was ranked third in the list of FHM’s Sexiest Women.
Now she appears on TV in a number of roles, either as an actress or as a presenter on shows like Are You the One? – an MTV dating show in Germany.
Sophia has an interesting dating history too and was in a relationship with heavy metal rock singer Till Lindemann of Rammstein fame between 2011-2015.
After that she married another singer, Andy LaPlegua, in 2016 but divorced a year later.
The actress also dated former Liverpool and Newcastle star Loris Karius and lived with him in Istanbul, Turkey while he played for Beikstas.
Sophia and Zverev announced their relationship in 2021, and it has had a positive influence for the world number three.

He said: “I think for tennis players it is always very important who you have next to you. Sophia is someone who gives me peace and security.
“I play extremely well with her behind me and I hope that will continue to be the case next year and maybe even better. I haven’t achieved all of my goals yet.”
The pair recently captured attention for a unique handshake they shared in the locker room at the Australian Open.
Zverev, 27, explained: “Oh my God, I mean, what, what are you doing to me? I’ve just played for 4 hours now. Yeah, I mean, we, we’ve been together for 3.5 years now, like, you gotta understand we’re German.
“This is like the coolest version of German you can be. So like this is, this is like the top of German coolness, like it doesn’t go any further than that. So we, we did it, we did well.”
