After the Olympics
“Finish line in sight”: Kerber ends her career
German tennis player Angelique Kerber will end her career after the Olympic Games. She can already see the finish line, she explains on Instagram.
The three-time Grand Slam winner announced this decision via Instagram before the start of the Summer Games in Paris. "Before the Olympics start, I can already say that I will never forget Paris 2024, because it will be my last professional tournament as a tennis player," the 36-year-old wrote on Thursday.
Kerber became a mother for the first time 17 months ago and was unable to build on her great successes at the peak of her career after returning to the sport. She won the Australian Open and the US Open in 2016 and became the first German world number one after Steffi Graf. This was followed two years later by her triumph at the Wimbledon grass court classic. This makes the Kiel native the most successful German tennis player after Graf. She also won Olympic silver at the 2016 Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro.
