Tennis star Angelique Kerber's comeback trail post-motherhood appears to be on smashing form! In an update at the German Sports Press Ball, the 35-year-old expressed her confidence, declaring, "Everything's going according to plan." With the Australian Open in Melbourne looming large at the beginning of January, Kerber's first significant objective is taking shape. To tune up for this event, she's entered the United Cup in Perth.
As Kerber puts the finishing touches on her comeback plan, she acknowledges the unique challenge of her "cold start," having never before had such a lengthy break from the game. Despite the prolonged pause, her dedication to tennis shines through: "I love the sport, and I missed it."
Kerber's career highlights include triumphs at the Australian Open and US Open in 2016 and a Wimbledon victory in 2018. The upcoming year promises additional thrills, with the Olympic Games in Paris set to captivate world tennis enthusiasts. Kerber, a silver medallist from the 2016 Olympics, feels excited about the prospect: "That will be a very exciting year."
In addition to her major tournament commitments, Kerber has shown an interest in representing Team Germany in the Billie Jean King Cup–a revamped version of the FedCup. With the German ladies' team gearing up for the final round of the team competition, Kerber extends her support and wishes them "a sensation."
While there is no specific information available regarding Kerber's preparation for the Australian Open, her active participation in events such as the 2025 Upper Austria Ladies Linz tournament suggests a gradual return to competitive tennis. As she embarks on this next chapter, her passion and determination remain unwavering.
