Alexander Zverev's present for winning the French Open was a dachshund puppy.
His girlfriend, German TV presenter Sophia Thomalla, surprised him before his after-match party on Sunday with a new family member.
"This is Buba, 15 weeks old and the second dog alongside Mishka that now belongs to Sascha and me," she told the Bild newspaper on Monday. "Sascha first spent an hour and a half with him so we got to dinner far too late."
Zverev, who won his maiden major title in Paris by beating Italian Flavio Cobolli in five sets, is known as a big dog fan.
Before Buba's arrival, Mishka and other dogs from his family - Lövik and Junior - were allowed on court at Roland Garros for a special photograph.
