Alexander Zverev's girlfriend, Sophia Thomalla, was also visibly emotional while the German admitted to not being "good enough" during his moving runner-up speech after the 2025 Australian Open final.

Despite his evident dismay, the World No. 2 gratefully acknowledged his family and coaching team's efforts and conveyed his determination to chase victory at the Melbourne Slam again.

"My team, I mean, we're trying to do all the right work. I'm just not good enough. It's simple as that. But I really appreciate what everybody has done, over the last few years," Zverev said.

"I really did think I have a chance but here I am, you know but I don't know if I'll ever be able to lift the trophy but I'll keep coming back. I'll keep trying and I'll see you guys all next year, thank you," he added.

Zverev will continue his hunt for his maiden Grand Slam title at the 2025 French Open. The German will aim to go one step further after finishing as the runner-up to Carlos Alcaraz at last year's edition of the claycourt Major.
