Angelique Kerber and the lawn - it has to be love. Because as soon as it turns green again on the tennis court, Angie is usually in top form, especially after moving from the unloved sand. In Bad Homburg she had already set an exclamation mark with her tournament victory, the first since her Wimbledon triumph in 2018. And now, on the most sacred of all surfaces in London? Kerber presents himself masterfully.
She had to give up two sets on the way to the semifinals, in the sensationally good second round match against Sara Sorribes Tormo and after a false start against Sasnovich. Coco Gauff and Karolina Muchova, on the other hand, beat the Kiel woman with all their experience and a feel for weed.
"There was just a little lack of conviction and self-confidence. But that's not gone. Especially not when someone is working," said Barbara Rittner regarding the setbacks in the majors for Angie in recent years. And especially in London, the situation is a very special one. "She just feels loved, recognized and admired by the English," said Rittner. "Angie is a very emotional and passionate person, that can make a big difference."

Kerber opponent Barty for the first time in the Wimbledon semifinals
The semi-final against Ashleigh Barty, it will be the really big test. Barty, Wimbledon winner of the juniors in 2011 and with what is actually the most perfect lawn game, is for the first time in the round of the last four in London with the "adults". After a stuttering start, also physically battered, the Australian has now played confidently into the tournament and recently left Ajla Tomljanovic no chance.
In a direct comparison of the two, Kerber leads 3: 2, the last match took place at the Hopman Cup in 2019.
