Winning a grand slam is the dream of all professional tennis players. Although the list of winners is long, only a small percentage of players have won one of the four majors even once in their lifetime. The list of players who have won a grand slam by beating Serena Williams is even smaller. One player on that list is Angelique Kerber, who beat Williams in the 2018 Wimbledon final. Kerber recently gave birth to her first child in February. When asked about which moment was more beautiful, the German player was quick to answer. 

Angelique Kerber gave birth to her daughter in February and entered a new stage of life. As she celebrated her daughter with a post on Instagram, everyone was happy for her, as wishes poured in from around the world. 

Angelique Kerber brushes aside her triumph over Serena Williams

The 2018 Wimbledon final was another chance for Serena Williams to equal her grand slam title tally with the all-time record of Margaret Court. With a great panache, she and Angelique Kerber stepped up on the grass of the Centre Court. Although Williams fought with all her power, Kerber steamrolled her as she won in straight sets with a final score of 6-3, 6-3. 

While that was five years ago, Kerber’s next big moment was her entry into motherhood on 25th February. While her comeback news is still unconfirmed, Kerber gave an interview to Bild, a German tabloid newspaper. During her interview, the German player was asked about which moment she cherished more, the grand slam win or motherhood.

For the 2018 champion, the answer was easy. She simply said, “Ohhh, that’s really a common question. Being a mother is just the most beautiful feeling,” Kerber said as she was quick to pick motherhood over grand slam glory.
