PARIS — Returning to Roland Garros one year after her emotional comeback to the sport, Petra Kvitova is rediscovering her best tennis, and suddenly close to closure.
Seventeen months after she was wounded by a knife-wielding home invader, the police in the Czech Republic announced this week that a suspect had been taken into custody, but did not name him.
Kvitova sustained deep cuts into her dominant left hand in a violent fracas in her apartment in Prostejov in December 2016. She needed hours of surgery and months of rehabilitation before returning to the sport at the 2017 French Open.
