Dominic Thiem also attended the party with his partner Lili Paul-Roncalli. Thiem was seen wearing a casual white T-shirt whereas Lili Paul was seen wearing a gray jacket.
Thiem and Zverev have had different comebacks since their injuries
Dominic Thiem and Alexander Zverev have both struggled with severe injuries in the past. Thiem has been the victim of a wrist injury that has plagued the Austrian in the last few years.
Since the wrist injury, Thiem's on-court play has been hampered and restricted. The Austrian has not won a title since 2020 when he won the US Open after defeating Alexander Zverev in the final. Thiem's only final appearance in an ATP tournament since then has been at the Austrian Open last year where he lost to Sebastian Baez in the final.
Thiem has faced first-round exits in most tournaments for the better part of the last year. A recent upset for the Austrian was at the BMW Open where he lost to Alejandro Moro Canas in the first round.
On the other hand, Zverev has gradually worked his way back among the top-ranked players since the ankle injury he suffered at the Roland Garros semifinal in 2022 against Rafael Nadal.
Since his comeback, the German has won titles in China and Hamburg in 2023 along with semifinal appearances in two more Grand Slams, including last year's French Open where he lost to Casper Ruud and this year's Australian Open where he lost to Danill Medvedev in the semifinal.
Zverev is currently ranked World No. 5. He is slated to play against Jurij Rodionov in the second round of the BMW Open.
