alonso is currently third following two restarts after incidents.ted today with a surprise result. the world number one, angelique kerber has been knocked out of the tournament in the first round. the british numberfour, dan evans, is also out but a fans' favourite, petra kvitova has made a triumphant return to the sport. patrick gearey reports. it has never taken petra kvitova so much to reach the first round. five months ago everything was in doubt. a knife attack at her home left with tendon damage on her left hand, have playing hand. and yet, here she was. the first game, first point. first class. kvitova's hand is not fully ready. she only stepped onto a practice court earlier this month so has to rely on skill and stealth rather than strength. that comes from the stands where her family sit. the first set was one, the second followed with what seemed like comfort. this is the eighth time she has made it to the second round of the french open. none will compare to this. it was a nice and really heart—warming welcome. my team was there, my famil
