Later this year, Angelique Kerber will be a mom of two!

Kerber announced her second pregnancy on social media this week. The former world No. 1 is already a mom to Liana, born in 2023, and will welcome her second child nearly a year after retiring from tennis.

Liana played a starring in Kerber's pregnancy announcement. In a post to her Instagram account on Thursday, Kerber is seen hugging her daughter and making a heart shape over her stomach with her hands.

"Counting down the days for someone special to arrive in our family," Kerber wrote in the post's caption.

The German, 37, received a flood of congratulations from her peers on tour, including Belinda Bencic, who recently won the Abu Dhabi WTA 500 title as a new mom, and Monica Puig, who defeated Kerber in the final of the 2016 Rio Olympics and announced her own first pregnancy earlier this month.

Kerber announced her first pregnancy ahead of the 2022 US Open, and missed all of 2023 on maternity leave. She returned to the sport in 2024, a season which became her farewell tour when she announced she'd retire after the Paris Olympics.

The three-time Grand Slam champion's final tournament ended in the quarterfinals after a resurgent run that saw her beat Naomi Osaka and Leylah Fernandez, and then give eventual gold medalist Zheng Qinwen all she could handle in a thrilling three-set quarterfinal.
