Angelique Kerber, the 36-year-old German tennis player, saw her career come to an end after a hard-fought quarterfinal match against No. 6 seed Zheng Qinwen of China at the Olympics. Zheng emerged victorious with a score of 6-7(4) 6-4 7-6(6).
Just a week prior, Kerber had announced that the Paris Olympics would be her final tennis tournament. In a tense encounter, Kerber held a lead in the final set before Zheng rallied back to force a tie-breaker.
