The upcoming 2024 Olympics will mark the final chapter in the career of legendary German tennis player Angelique Kerber.

She announced this at a press conference before the start of the games in Paris.

Kerber, a former world number one, reached the pinnacle of the WTA rankings in September 2016. Throughout her career, Kerber has won three Grand Slam titles: the Australian Open in 2016, the US Open in 2016, and Wimbledon in 2018.

Her best Olympic achievement was winning the silver medal in Rio de Janeiro in 2016.

In the first round of the 2024 Olympics in Paris, Kerber will face another legendary former world number one, Naomi Osaka. Kerber will also compete in doubles alongside Laura Siegemund.

It should be noted that world number four, Elena Rybakina, has withdrawn from the 2024 Olympics.
