Angelique Kerber News
Angelique Kerber has advanced to the third semifinal playing in four tournaments this season as she sailed past former world #1 Karolina Pliskova in straight sets. Kerber did not expose any break points in all of her nine service games, and she lost a total of just eight points behind her serve throughout the match.
This was Kerber’s second Top 10 win of the year after defeating Venus Williams earlier in the season at Sydney. Kerber started the 2017 season as world #1, after winning two slams in 2016, but by the time the year ended she was ranked outside the Top 20 (at #21), for the first time since 2012.
That led Keber to end her longtime partnership with the German coach Torben Beltz and hire Wim Fissett, who has coached slam winners such as Kim Clijsters and Azarenka, and other top players such as Halep and Konta.
Apart from the Australian Open finalists (Halep and Wozniacki), Kerber’s 2018 start has been the next best, with a slam semifinal and a Premier title at Sydney.
