Tennis Star Kerber Already Gazes Towards Paris Olympic Games
In her quest to return to the sport following her baby break, former top-ranked tennis pro Angelique Kerber is already contemplating participation in the upcoming Olympic Games in Paris.
When asked about the possibility of playing doubles alongside Olympic champion Alexander Zverev during the summer of 2024, the 35-year-old expressed her enthusiasm, stating that they would indeed discuss the prospect during their upcoming meeting in Australia. "It would make me thrilled!" Kerber expressed, adding that playing for Germany in the Paris Olympics is a dream of hers, as it is an honor to represent her nation at such a distinguished event.
Just as Zverev, Kerber also dreams of carrying the German flag during the opening ceremony. "It would be an unforgettable experience for any athlete to strut in with the German flag, and it's a pride-filled dream of mine to do so," Kerber shared.
Having welcomed baby Liana and taking an 18-month break from her professional tennis career, Kerber looks forward to marking her return to the game at the conclusion of the current month, with plans to compete at the United Cup in Sydney. Although she feels good and is progressing according to schedule, Kerber admits she cannot yet forecast her fitness level upon her return to competition.
