Tennis star Alexander Zverev (29) is taking a break on Ibiza with girlfriend Sophia Thomalla (36) and their dachshund Mishka, following a highly successful Grand Slam season that included a French Open win and Wimbledon final. The couple is enjoying a boat tour off the coast, with Zverev taking a few days off before preparing for the hard-court season. The article highlights the affectionate relationship between the couple and their two dachshunds, Mishka and Buba, who are biological brothers and have their own Instagram page with over 33,500 followers. Zverev humorously noted that although he gave Mishka to Thomalla after her dog died, the dog prefers to stay with her. Thomalla plans to attend the Montreal Masters, while Mishka will stay with Zverev's parents during the US Open.

Summer, sun, Ibiza! Tennis star Alexander Zverev (29) is living it up. After a boat trip with Rafael Nadal (40) and friends off Mallorca, the world number 2 is now cruising off Ibiza with girlfriend Sophia Thomalla (36). Always along: dachshund Buba.
The Berliner gave the dog to the Hamburg native after his French Open victory, because her dog had passed away. Now Buba is everywhere she is, as he doesn't want to leave Thomalla — even though he is Zverev's dog.
"I had given Sophia Mishka because her dog died last year. But he always wanted to stay with me. Now she gave me a dog who prefers to be with her," Zverev laughed.
Finally, the two-time world champion has a bit of time for love.
"I'm taking a few days off," the French Open winner announced in London.
Preparation for the second hard-court phase of the season will have to wait. The past months were too exhausting. No one played as well as Zverev at the Grand Slams:
- Semifinals: Australian Open
- Win: French Open
- Final: Wimbledon
Even superstar Sinner falls behind (semifinals in Melbourne, 2nd round in Paris, win at Wimbledon).

Dachshunds Have Instagram
Back to Zverev, Thomalla, and the dogs. The dachshunds Mishka and Buba even have their own Instagram page (mishkas_universe). "Brothers for life," it says there — and it couldn't be any other way. The two are actually biological brothers too.
The account already has 33,500 followers, and the number is rising. The adventures of the two four-legged friends are touching. For example:
- How Zverev looks into the sunset from the boat, with Buba on his lap
- Zverev and Thomalla sunbathing on the deck, with Buba lying in the shade under her bent legs
It is quite possible that the trio will also go on a North American tour together. At least in Montreal at the Masters, Thomalla wants to be there, while during the US Open she has to shoot in Germany. Mishka would also be along; he is well taken care of at Zverev's parents' place. He gets along splendidly with their poodle Lövik and Junior.
What a dog's life — in the best sense.
