Just like everyone else, she was "at home here at the moment" and did not know "how things will go in the next few weeks. Of course, I am also concerned about what is going on," said Kerber.
What matters most now is "that we function as a community and put our own interests aside now," said the former number one in the world: "We definitely owe it to the people who currently work for us day and night, so that we can get through the difficult time. "
After her knockout round at the Australian Open in Melbourne in January, Kerber was unable to train as usual due to a thigh injury. Shortly before the cancellation on the part of the WTA tour, Kerber had canceled her appearances in Indian Wells and Miami: "I try to stay fit, do my exercises, change my mind to clear my head a bit too. " Of course, in the current situation, she "does not go out".
When the WTA Tour will resume play is questionable. The women's tour is currently paused until June 7th.
