French Open in the live ticker: Angelique Kerber against Kaja Juvan - 32-year-old with little match practice on clay
For the experienced
Angelique Kerber
, who has already won
three Grand Slam titles *
could retract, but this should not be a hurdle.
However,
the 32-year-olds did not have much
match practice
on clay, which is why the Bremen woman's performance is being followed with excitement.
"Ideally, I would have liked to have
gained
a little more
match practice on clay
, but I remain positive and am happy that the French Open will take place at all," Kerber told the
German press agency
.
In view of the two
Grand Slam tournaments
* within a few weeks, "the season after the restart is short and intense," said the native of Bremen.
"There is therefore little time to prepare for the sand." The
Wimbledon winner
* from 2018 traveled to Paris earlier, but "there is not much time to get used to the conditions".
When in Paris, there's always plenty to smile about, right @AngeliqueKerber?
