Angelique Kerber: German tennis player Angelique Kerber’s playing career has ended with a defeat to China’s Qinwen Zheng in the 2024 Paris Olympics women’s singles quarterfinals at Court Philippe-Chartier. In the men's section, Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz, who battled in the Wimbledon final recently, continued their quest as they reached the quarterfinals on Wednesday.
Angelique, a three-time Grand Slam champion and silver medalist in this event at the 2016 Rio Olympics, had announced before the start of the Paris 2024 quadrennial event that this tournament would mark the finish of her professional tennis career.
In the quarter-final clash which lasted close to three hours, Angelique took the lead against Zheng by winning the first set 7-6 (4) in a tiebreak. But Zheng hit back and took the last two sets, finishing with a third-set tiebreak to win 6-7 (4), 6-4 and 7-6 (6).
