Alexander Zverev, his girlfriend Sophia Thomalla, Zheng Qinwen, and other tennis stars made stylish appearances at the 'Taste of Tennis' event, ahead of the 2025 Indian Wells Open. The main draw action of the event is set to take place from March 5 to 16.
Zverev, who has entered the tournament as the top seed after Jannik Sinner's three-month doping suspension, will aim to win his maiden title at the ATP Masters 1000 event. The German will also look to bounce back strongly from a disappointing South American swing, as he continues his pursuit of the World No. 1 ranking.

Alexander Zverev will have his girlfriend's support from the stands during his campaign at the 2025 Indian Wells Masters. Following a first-round bye, the top seed will face the winner between Miomir Kecmanovic and Tallon Griekspoor in his opening match.
The World No. 2 will be determined to clinch his maiden title at the ATP Masters 1000 event, having recently disclosed his aim to challenge Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz for major titles and the World No. 1 ranking. Speaking to the press at the Rio Open, Zverev acknowledged that he needed to make certain improvements to reach their level.
"I’m not number one in the world yet, but I want to be. My goal is to fight for the big titles and the top spot in the rankings with Alcaraz and Sinner. There are things they do better than me. I have to improve," Zverev said.
If Zverev emerges victorious in his tournament opener, he will likely face Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard in the third round, followed by a potential fourth-round encounter with Frances Tiafoe.
