Overview
- In mid‑April, Mishka, the eight‑month‑old dachshund belonging to Alexander Zverev and Sophia Thomalla, jumped from a moving golf cart at a Munich course and suffered multiple fractures including both hips.
- Zverev spent the night at the veterinary clinic unsure whether Mishka would need surgery or be able to walk again, and he says the incident affected his mental focus during the Munich tournament.
- Speaking at the French Open in late May, Zverev gave a cautious update that Mishka can walk again though the dog still limps, and he expressed optimism that youth will aid a full recovery.
- Mishka regularly travels with Zverev and Thomalla and was reported to be waiting for Zverev at his Paris hotel after his first‑round win at Roland‑Garros.
- All core details in current coverage come from Zverev’s own interviews and a press conference; no independent veterinary records or outside medical statements are cited in the reporting.
