World No. 1 Angelique Kerber, who lost to Anett Kontaveit in Rome on Wednesday, admitted that she is not at her best on clay.
The German lost to Kristina Mladenovic in the first round in Stuttgart, to Eugenie Bouchard in the round of 16 in Madrid, and on Wednesday she was upset by the 21-year-old Kontaveit.
“I’m not feeling so well on this surface,” Kerber said in Rome. “I think that my movement is not the best, especially on clay. I think my legs are always important for my game, but I really [am] not feeling so good on [the] clay court.
"I will try to [go] back home and [think], ‘What can I do to be back in Paris?’ I mean, this is the next big goal.”
