For Angelique Kerber, the focus is on the family after their end of their career. Her daughter gets a sibling in summer. However, tennis does not let you go.
Angelique Kerber will take more responsibility at the tennis tournament in Bad Homburg (June 21 to 28) as the new sports director. The pregnant 37-year-old and previous ambassador will form a double tip with her manager, tournament director Aljoscha Thron, the organizers said.
“For me, the tournament was a heart project from the start,” said the former world ranking list. “I know what the players need. There is a bit of work for me.” She left open whether she would be there this time. Kerber expects her second child in summer.
Kerber keeps her life partner Franco Bianco out of the public. When asked about wedding plans or a marriage proposal, she only replied that she was now focusing on the second child.
“Of course we are happy that the second comes now. I’m curious to see what will come to me now. Of course, that’s another challenge.”
Kerber lives in Puszczykowo in Poland, where she has a tennis academy. A move to Germany is not in the room, she said. “Poland remains the center of life.”
As a mother of daughter Liana (2), Kerber had returned to competitive sports before completing her career in France in the 2024 summer games. In Bad Homburg, the three-time Grand Slam tournament winner celebrated the title at the 2021 premiere.
