And as much as we admire the tennis players, we are much more interested in their equally as successful and better-dressed halves.

Here’s a list of all the wives and girlfriends behind the Australian Open’s biggest male stars:

Sophia Thomalla is the 36-year-old girlfriend of controversial German tennis player Alexander Zverev. The pair have been dating since late 2020.

The 28-year-old sports star was accused of violence by two of his previous partners- something he has vehemently denied.

His former girlfriend, Olya Sharypova, first made her allegations in an interview with Russian website Championat after posting a photo of herself with Zverev claiming she had been a victim of domestic violence.

However, she did not pursue the claims with the police or the court.

Zherev was also accused of domestic abuse in 2023 by Brenda Patea, with whom he has a child, according to the ABC.

The tennis player was subsequently heckled during the Australian Open men’s singles trophy ceremony last year.

As he stepped forward to receive his second place trophy, a spectator shouted: “Australia believes Olya and Brenda.”

Zverev paid a settlement to his former partner and to deny the claims.

Thomalla has stood by his side throughout.
