It's been nearly three years since Petra Kvitova suffered a horrific home invasion and knife attack, and in that time she's done some incredible things. Kvitova's returned to Grand Slam contention by making the Australian Open final, raised her ranking to a career-high No. 2 and won a whopping eight titles, racking up a WTA-most five in 2018.
But, to her, one of the most meaningful moments was returning to tennis in the first place, at Roland Garros in 2017. Kvitova is the latest participant in Noah Rubin's "Behind The Racquet" project, in which players pose for a picture and tell a personal story that's important to them, and that French Open is what she chose to talk about.
"The story of my attack is unfortunately not great, but how I came back is what I want people to know," Kvitova began her caption.
