Kerber celebrates Wimbledon victory in Stuttgart
After two weeks of dominating at the All England Club, Angelique Kerber has been soaking up her moment in the spotlight as a first-time Wimbledon champion.
As the first German in over 20 years to hoist the Venus Rosewater Dish—following in the footsteps of tennis legend Steffi Graf—Kerber was given a hero's welcome in Stuttgart. The city happens to be the home of the Porsche Museum, and Kerber is a Porsche ambassador.
The veteran lefty brought her shiny new trophy to speak to the local press for the first time as a Wimbledon champion, and a three-time Grand Slam champion.
Posing next to luxury cars somehow makes the Wimbledon trophy look even cooler than before, if possible.
There has even been talk that Kerber’s hometown of Bremen may name a street after her. The 30-year-old boosted her ranking to No. 4 after the fortnight.
Having won three different majors, Kerber is one French Open away from cementing her name in tennis history as a winner of the career Grand Slam.
Ten women and eight men in history have achieved the career Grand Slam.
