“Before the Olympics even begin, I can already say that I will never forget Paris 2024, as it will be my last professional tournament as a tennis player,” Kerber wrote. “While it may have been the right decision, I don’t think so. Just because I love the game with all my heart and am grateful for the memories and opportunities it has given me.
Kerber, who became a mother for the first time 17 months ago, has been nowhere near her previous level of success since her return near the end of last year. She was eliminated in the first round of the three Grand Slam tournaments this year, the Australian Open, French Open, and Wimbledon.
In 2016, the daughter of Polish parents won the Australian and US Opens, won a silver medal at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics and became the world’s number one. She spent 34 weeks at the top of the WTA rankings. She won Wimbledon in 2018. Kerberová has a total of 14 Pro Tour trophies.
