Life

After graduating from secondary school , she decided to pursue a career as a professional tennis player. Her manager is her mother Beata, she was initially trained by her father Sławek.

She also moved her first place of residence from Kiel to Puszczykowo at the end of 2012, where she regularly trains in the Angie Tennis Center of her grandfather Janusz Rzeźnik. In addition to German citizenship , Kerber also has Polish citizenship due to the principle of descent that applies in Poland . The fact that Kerber did not respond to an earlier request from the Polish association whether she wanted to play for Poland was criticized by the Polish press. Kerber said: “There was once a request from the Polish Association, and because I didn't make up my mind immediately, I was pretty pissed off in the press. But I would have played for Germany anyway, I feel like a German. ”She speaks German , Polish and English .

Kerber wields the tennis racket with her left hand, even though she is right-handed . She attributes this to the fact that her coaches have been training with her since she was a child and that she intuitively mirrored their stick position.
