After Alexander Zverev won the Olympic gold medal, he talked to his daughter Mayla and ex-girlfriend Brenda Patea on Instagram. 

Brenda and Zverev found out that Brenda was pregnant after they broke up. Their relationship was contentious and they were on speaking terms for some time during their pregnancy. They seem be on friendly terms again. 

Brenda and Zverev have shared pictures on social media showing them having lunches and going for a walk with the baby. But Brenda’s profile still says that she is a single mom. So it appears that they are co-parenting but not dating again.

Zverev beat Novak Djokovic, who was widely favored to win the title, in the semifinals. He then went on to beat Karen Khachanov in the final to win the gold medal for Germany. 

Zverev is a former junior world number 1. Though he has reached the latter stages of a grand slam multiple times, a grand slam title has eluded the German star.

Denis Shapovalov, Lorenzo Sonego, and Corentin Moutet are not the only players on tour with musical aspirations. Stefanos Tsitsipas has released his first album, Only Yesterday.

Only Yesterday is a ten-song album that is lofi hip hop featuring immersive mellow beats. You can find the album on SoundCloud.

During an interview during the French Open, Tsitsipas expressed his love for music.

I enjoy music. I feel like every person has his own identity and every person has his own taste in music. I got influenced a lot by other tracks and other albums I’ve been listening to so I decided to make my own song, based on certain parts of my life recently.

There’s a lot of nostalgia, a lot of emotions and a story to be told through a song and I managed to pull it off, it turned out to be pretty good. I’m happy with it.

-Stefanos Tsitsipas

Several tennis players have tried their hand at music – the Bryan brothers, Bob and Mike Bryan had a band and released an album, Autograph in which Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic sang.
