Have the honor! Angelique Kerber is a member of the Mallorca Country Club
Grass is possibly Angelique Kerber's favorite surface. It's a good thing that the 2018 Wimbledon winner can now be an honorary member of the Mallorca Country Club in Santa Ponsa.

Angelique Kerber's comeback has stalled somewhat in the last few weeks; the three-time Grand Slam winner has not played a match since the Australian Open. In fact, there are more important things - such as celebrating daughter Liana's first birthday. Your priorities have just shifted a bit, even though Kerber certainly wants to have the greatest possible success on the tennis tour.
This may be easiest for her on grass. As is well known, Angelique Kerber doesn't even love the sand dispassionately. And on the hard court, with the new generation around Aryna Sabalenka, Iga Swiatek and Elena Rybakina, everything really has to be right so that Kerber can play with the best in the industry. Given on grass? Routine and sophistication also count. The long-time German number one has had enough of both.
It was therefore probably not particularly difficult for Edwin Weindorfer to get Angelique Kerber to visit the Mallorca Country Club in Santa Ponsa. And to use this opportunity to present her with honorary membership. Which puts Kerber in line with Daniil Medvedev and Stefanos Tsitsipas, both of whom have competed in Santa Ponsa in recent years. In the case of Tsitsipas, it was even successful: in 2022, the Greek won one of his ten titles on the ATP tour in Santa Ponsa, the only one on grass.
