Kerber admits to seriously considering withdrawal

The German tennis player Angelique Kerber, former world number one and winner of three 'Grand Slams', does not hide that she has “thought” about retiring during this time, although he prefers to trust his “heart” and his “feelings” for the moment, and also confesses how difficult it can be for him to play a season traveling “from one 'bubble' to another '”.

“I have decided to prepare in the best possible way and I am looking forward to getting to Australia, but of course, those thoughts (withdraw) are there. I trust my heart and my feelings, and as long as I enjoy tennis and can physically perform well, this is what I love and what is part of me, “said Kerber in an interview with the 'dpa'.

The German woman, 32, he has “put aside this thought” of ending his career, but cautions that it is difficult to “erase once you have thought about it.” “The moment will come at some point, maybe even soon, or not, I don't know. I have to see how things go, the restrictions, playing without fans, everything is extreme and it takes away a lot of what I enjoy in my profession and I notice it, “he remarked. “You train and train, and at the end of the day it's not clear what you're training for”, continued the current 25 in the world, who also knows how difficult it is to play in 'bubbles'. “You can be in one for a short period, but for a longer one it would be hard for me. I couldn't travel from one 'bubble' to another, and while I am grateful that we are allowed to play again, obviously I feel like it's not. what I know and something really strange “, he claimed.

Finally, asked for 2021 if she would prefer to win the Olympic gold in Tokyo or Roland Garros to complete the 'Grand Slam', the winner of three 'big' is clear. “If I had the choice, I would take a fourth 'Grand Slam' title in Paris. To have won the four 'majors' would be the icing on the cake, but I would take either one, “he admitted.
