Angelique Kerber (German: [ʔan.d͡ʒɛˈliːk ˈkɛɐ̯bɐ] ; born 18 January 1988) is a German former professional tennis player. She was ranked as the world No. 1 in women's singles by the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) for 34 weeks (including as the year-end world No. 1 in 2016). Kerber won 14 WTA Tour-level singles titles, including three majors at the 2016 Australian Open, the 2016 US Open, and the 2018 Wimbledon Championships. She also won a silver medal in women's singles at the 2016 Rio Olympics.

Kerber made her professional debut in 2003 and began her rise to prominence upon reaching the semifinals of the 2011 US Open as the world No. 92. An accomplished left-handed player, Kerber first cracked the top 5 in the rankings in 2012 and would eventually become world No. 1 on 12 September 2016, becoming the 22nd and oldest player to achieve the top ranking. Following a maternity leave, Kerber retired from the sport after the 2024 Paris Olympics.
