Tennis Veteran Kerber Eyeing Paris Olympic Doubles Debut with Zverev
As Angelique Kerber prepares for her comeback from a baby break, the former world number one is already considering a Hollywood-worthy return, possibly teaming up with fellow tennis star and Olympic champion Alexander Zverev for the 2024 Paris Olympics.
When asked about the possibility of joining forces with Zverev in a women's doubles pairing, Kerber, now 35, replied with enthusiasm, hinting at a potential conversation in their upcoming Australian rendezvous. "Why not, it would be exhilarating!" she declared, expressing her passion for representing Germany in the grand event.
The idea of carrying the German flag in the opening ceremony is also a cherished dream for Kerber. "Walking into the stadium with that soaring emblem of our nation on my shoulder? I can't even describe how amazing that would be," she shared, tingling with anticipation.
Following a baby girl named Liana and an 18-month hiatus from professional tennis, Kerber eagerly anticipates making her return to the court at the end of the current month, with the United Cup in Sydney as her comeback tournament. Although she's feeling fit and on schedule, her peak performance form remains an enigma as she gears up for competition once more.
