“Involving former top players in the work of the DTB is an important pillar in the area of youth and competitive sports. The fact that we have now succeeded in recruiting Angelique Kerber, one of Germany’s most successful tennis players, for the DTB fills us with pride and confidence,” said DTB board member Veronika Rücker.
“Angie, with her fighting spirit and great passion on the court, has always been a shining example for young female tennis players, who can now benefit directly from her knowledge and experience.”
