To the girl who changed my life I wish a happy New Year full of health and success ???? #2019″ On another instance, Siegemund shared a picture where the two were enjoying a “Night out ”.
Earlier this year, during the Australian Open, Siegemund expressed her honest feelings on Zucca’s immense hard work behind the scenes. After she pulled off a huge upset over 2024 Paris Olympics champion Qinwen Zheng at the John Cain Arena, with a score line of 7-6(3), 6-3 in the second round, the German WTA pro couldn’t resist making a heartfelt confession.
“First of all, I love him very much,” she said, as reported by Tennis Channel back in January 2025. “The best part is we’re spending our life together on tour. It’s very hard if your boyfriend or husband is not traveling with you. We’re sharing all the great and terrible moments together, and that’s the best part.” Weighing on Zucca’s significance in her life, she concluded, “He’s always by my side, which I really appreciate very much.”
What does Antonio Zucca do for a living?
Since 2018, Antonio Zucca has remained a full-time coach of his partner Laura Siegemund. Other than that, there’s no additional information available regarding his professional commitments in other fields.
As for his girlfriend and German tennis star Siegemund, she’s set to play her third round match soon at the Wimbledon. On Friday, the World No.79 will be up against American star Madison Keys. Interestingly, their H2H tally is leveled at 1-1 at the moment. But Siegemund might have an edge over Keys in this battle.
Back in 2016, when the two first met, it was during Wimbledon. And guess what? It was the third round, similar to their upcoming match. And the result? Siegemund eventually emerged victorious in that clash on grass with a score line of 6-7, 6-4, 6-4. Well, that encounter is nearly a decade old now, but the German would like to take inspiration from it this time. So far, her best run at the All England Club was reaching the second round (2019 and 2024). But she’s already improved this year.
What are your thoughts on Siegemund’s Wimbledon prospects? Will she stun Keys once again and move into the fourth round? Let us know in the comments below.
