Overview
- On Wednesday Alexander Zverev was switched live from New York into the studio about 18 hours after winning the US Open for his second Grand Slam.
- During the call the 29‑year‑old said he believed he had not slept since the victory and said he felt fine despite obvious fatigue.
- Host Günther Jauch asked whether a girlfriend can distract a player and Zverev replied that Sophia Thomalla often cannot attend tournaments because she works much of the year.
- Thomalla used Zverev as a phone‑joker and he correctly answered her quiz question that a folding rule is two meters long.
- RTL has scheduled the recorded Prominenten‑Special to air on 19 November 2026 at 20:15 as part of the RTL‑Spendenmarathon and the episode will be available on RTL+.
