PHOTOS of Petra Kvitova’s French Open practice + second round of qualifying

Thursday at Roland Garros 2017 was marked by the second round of WTA qualifying action and we also got to see a smiling Petra Kvitova with coach Jiri Vanek on the practice court, as the Czech is expected to make a comeback from December’s stabbing when her playing hand was severely injured by a home invader. We’ll find out today in Kvitova’s press conference whether the comeback will happen now at the French Open or she’ll wait a bit more to get back to competition. Also spotted on practice courts were Ajla Tomljanovic, who is in the main draw thanks to her protected ranking, and Turkey’s Cagla Buyukakcay.
