Angelique Kerber 2012 performance evaluation – Tennis News
German tennis professional, Angelique Kerber, is one of the top ranked challengers ready to overtake all the odds and is recently gearing up for her 2013 tennis season. As a tennis professional, she attained her long awaited breakthrough
in 2011 US Open Championships held at the hard courts of New York. As a professional, she had sustained her consistency and her top class form and by the end of the tennis period she celebrated, her high graded momentum.
The former world number four tennis analyst, Mary Joe Fernandez told the media, “I really like Kerber’s game. She’s a player that is creative and savvy on the court. I got to watch her more this last year and when you first watch
her you think, ‘Why does she win so much? What stands out?’ The thing is, she constructs her points so well and she is such a great competitor. She simply doesn’t give up. She won so many matches in the last year when she was down and out and came back to
win in three sets. She has no weaknesses, except her second serve – I think she defends really well.”
The German left-hander has an outstanding game plan ready to face all the challenges with a very remarkable strength. She has a flawless footwork and surely serves to be a big threat for the higher ranked professionals. Kerber
is famous for her elevated serves and forehands but she gradually constructs momentum to sustain it.
The 24-year-old professional is easy to take down once she is not confident about her defence. Despite of her wins in the 2012 WTA tournaments, she does not possess a strong ability to fire high-paced shots against her challengers.
Even the higher ranked professionals such as Sara Errani can strike a more powerful serve and come up with an efficient defence.
The left-hander made it until the semi-finals of the Moorilla Hobart International and until the third round of the Australian Open. In the start of 2012, she tremendously improved her world rankings by contesting until the ending
rounds of the WTA tournaments. She has fair chance to nudge up to a higher rank than the top five as she has the potential to overshadow players like Maria Sharapova and Victoria Azarenka. The German participant journeyed a long way since her first time and
her hard work shows in her superior rank than before.
