you leaned on your grandstand seat far forward, and as her face disappeared mane behind her blonde wall. There is nothing used, they had discovered a long time ago. Steffi Graf was sitting on Wednesday night on the Court number three at Melbourne Park after her husband, Andre Agassi, and followed his second-round victory of its current protege, Grigor Dimitrov against Pablo Cuevas from Uruguay. But since it was years ago that you had seen the 22-time Grand Slam winner at all times as a spectator at the Tennis, not surprised that Graf used to cheer for in the case of Angelique Kerber.
The playing right next door in the Rod Laver Arena against Brazilian Beatriz Haddad Maia. Kerber needed no assistance against the qualifier, the you with 6:2 and 6:3 scores defeated, and so their 100. Victory at a Grand Slam celebrated. Really of great importance you want to the anniversary’s success, however, not when you eat. When asked, she said only: “This shows that I’m getting old.” More happy, you would certainly have a visit count.
at the award for Sportswoman of the year 2018 in December Kerber was hoping to her example as a Presenter and with big eyes asked: “Oh, Steffi there, are you?” And she seemed a bit disappointed when they had to make Do with Boris Becker. The former Champions do not regularly come to the Grand Slams, only count. The now 49-Year-old is an extremely rare visitor to the tennis family and Kerber was after their Match, not sure if you can see the count in Melbourne. “I found out yesterday that Steffi is here. Still nothing is planned.“
It was said that the count would leave on Thursday. Kerber would like to remain still until the Finale. Also, if you would never say this directly. You only have to look at your next opponent and that is the Australian Kimberly Birrell, who had come with a Wildcard to the main draw. Kerber is on your 31. Birthday on Friday against play for you in Melbourne now a Tradition. “Maybe this is a good Omen”, she hoped. At least in the two years prior to this there was a birthday victory.

Kerber will only focus on the next Match, but there is noise from your former coach, Wim Fissette. Both had ended the collaboration last autumn, surprisingly, due to different views, Kerber said it at the time, almost. Have been suspected of sporting differences. But now Fissette commented for the first time to the actual reasons. Compared to the Belgian press Agency “Belga News Agency”, he said: “I would have liked to have worked with Angie, but it was about Financial. We were just too far.“
Fissette had taken over Kerber after the crisis year of 2017 as number 21 in the world and again in the success trace. At the end of the season 2018 Kerber stood as a world ranked and Wimbledon champion. Fissette want to make this a great success to be remunerated, as negotiated prior to the WTA Finals in Singapore, the new Treaty. “But we were able to agree on a compromise,” added Fissette. Kerber then decided to fly alone to Singapore, although contracts usually run until the end of the season. “As I looked around me otherwise,” added Fissette, who is now working with the two-time Grand Slam winner, Victoria Asarenka.
Fissettes verbal foray is unusual, almost a novelty in the tennis scene. Because usually in contracts of Confidentiality clauses. Thus, after a separation, but no dirty linen is washed. “Wim is free to Express themselves,” said Kerbers Management, “but for us, the issue is settled.” In fact, the German was on Wednesday completely unimpressed, even if it was required against the offensively acting Haddad Maia in the meantime. “It was really a tough Match, they really played well,” said Kerber, who lost in the Melbourne no premium game.
