Kerber's words on social media

Through her Twitter channel, Angelique Kerber explained in a nice way: "I really wanted to play the US Open, but I realized that playing two against one is not fair competition." The tennis player then continued with further tweets: "For the next few months I will take a break from traveling the world as a tennis player, but I repeat I think it is for the best possible reason.

I will miss you all. New York has often been a turning point in my career and it looks like this will be the case again this year. Here my career restarted in 2011 and here I won the title in 2016. The Us Open has a special place in my heart and I wanted to say goodbye to everyone on the tour before being out for a while.

Being a professional athlete means everything to me, but I'm grateful to start a new path. I am nervous and excited to accept this new life path. Thank you all for your support, it means everything to me." Here is the tennis player's social post:
