Kerber Dominates on Clay, Reaches Third Round in Rome

Angelique Kerber, the former world No. 1, has made a triumphant return to clay at the Internazionali BNL d'Italia, reaching the third round with ease. Despite her long-standing struggles on the surface, Kerber has dropped just four games in her first two matches, showcasing her renewed confidence and determination.

After a 6-3, 6-0 victory over No. 17 seed Veronika Kudermetova, Kerber expressed her satisfaction with her performance. "It's a good win for me, especially on clay," she said. "I've had not so many matches on clay, so it's always good to have one more match on the surface."

Kerber's success on clay is a testament to her adaptability and resilience. Despite her previous struggles at Roland Garros, she has remained determined to improve her game on the surface. This season, she has embraced the challenges of clay with a renewed focus and determination.

As a new mom, Kerber has had to adjust to a new routine that balances her career and motherhood. She has found a rhythm that allows her to excel on the court while also spending quality time with her daughter. "You need to find your routine, your rhythm, and it all takes time, for sure," she said.

Kerber's next challenge will be either No. 14 seed Ekaterina Alexandrova or qualifier Aliaksandra Sasnovich. If she can continue her impressive form, she could face top seed Iga Swiatek in the fourth round.

Kerber's resurgence on clay is a reminder of her enduring talent and unwavering determination. As she continues her journey towards Roland Garros, she will be a force to be reckoned with, proving that even the most challenging surfaces can be conquered with hard work and belief.
