French Open: Dan Evans opens for Britain; Petra Kvitova makes comeback

Dan Evans will carry British hopes on day one of the French Open on Sunday, while Petra Kvitova returns to action following a knife attack in December.

British number four Evans takes on Spain's Tommy Robredo on Court Two at about 15:00 BST.

Czech Kvitova, 27, opens play on the main Philippe Chatrier Court at 10:00 against American Julia Boserup.

She has recovered after an intruder caused damage to her playing hand during a break-in five months ago.

Kvitova will be followed onto court by Germany's world number one Angelique Kerber, who has been struggling for form and faces a severe test against Russia's Ekaterina Makarova.
