It is 12 months since Angelique Kerber won Wimbledon for the first time, a victory she celebrated by dancing alongside Novak Djokovic at the evening Champions’ Dinner. She has not won a title since but there is nothing like returning to a place where you’ve done well before to put a bit of extra spring in the step.
“I think it’s completely different here because you’re coming back as a member the first time, so it’s really special for me,” said Kerber, whose win denied Serena Williams what would have been a record-equalling 24th grand-slam singles title. “A lot of emotions and a lot of memories from last year, of course. It’s nice being back on this special place here for me. It’s a completely new year. Everything starts from zero. It is great to be back, but for me right now it’s [about] focusing on my first round, on the tournament. And of course, trying to enjoy every moment on and off court.”
