Laura Siegemund achieved a remarkable feat at the Australian Open by defeating Top 5 player and last year’s finalist, Zheng Qinwen, to advance to the third round. This victory also made Siegemund the third-oldest player to beat a Top 5 WTA player at the Australian Open in the last three decades. After the match, the German veteran expressed her gratitude to her partner and coach, Antonio Zucca.
Siegemund and Zucca have been a couple for over six years, with their relationship first mentioned in January 2019. Back then, Siegemund shared a photo from the ASB Classic players’ party with the caption, “My man <3”.
