According to a well-placed source, Angelique Kerber is leading the race to become Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2025. But while the tennis player's fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion.
UPDATE 24/12/2024 : This story seems to be false. (read more)
Why not Kerber for Person of the Year?
The list of nominees for Time magazine’s Person of the Year is always an eclectic mix of world leaders, pop culture icons, buzzworthy names, and human rights activists. The unexpected inclusion of the 36-year-old tennis player, as a 2025 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Kerber so important is the potential and influence she now has, rather than anything she has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the tennis player have already been named ‘German Of The Year’ by some major German newspapers and even ‘Bremen Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Bremen (Angelique Kerber's hometown).
Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year
A representative for the tennis player was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:
“Angelique Kerber Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 23 Dec 2024
“Congrats! Angelique has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 23 Dec 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Angelique Kerber?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 23 Dec 2024
Could 2025 officially be the Year of Angelique Kerber?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2025 Person of the Year.
Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2025?
