Angelique Kerber announced her decision on her Instagram channel the day before the opening ceremony.

Angelique Kerber won three Grand Slam tournaments: the Australian Open 2016, Wimbledon 2018 and the US Open 2016. Eight years ago, she was the world number 1. This year, she only won 7 out of 21 singles matches on her comeback after a year and a half break, but at least defeated a top 10 player in Indian Wells, Latvia's Jelena Ostapenko.

Kerber is currently ranked 216th in the world.
