PARIS, July 25 (Bernama-dpa) -- German tennis star and former world number one Angelique Kerber will end her professional career after the 2024 Olympics in Paris, she has said on Instagram, reported German news agency (dpa).
"Before the Olympics begin, I can already say that I will never forget Paris 2024, because it will be my last professional tournament as a tennis player," she wrote.
"And whereas this might actually be the right decision, it will never feel that way. Simply because I love the sport with all my heart and I’m thankful for the memories and opportunities it has given me," Kerber added.
The three-time Grand Slam winner and 2016 Olympic silver medallist made her comeback to the sport this year following a 18-month maternity leave. But she hasn't been able to build on the great successes she enjoyed at the peak of her career.
