Two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova insisted yesterday that the French Open was right not to hand Serena Williams a special seeding for the event. Many in tennis, including long-time rival Maria Sharapova, believe the rule needs to be changed. But not Kvitova.
"I don't really think so," said Kvitova who was off the tour for six months last year after suffering knife wounds fighting off a burglar at her home in the Czech Republic. "When I came back I didn't feel like a top-20 player. I was seeded because of the points I earned the year before. It was a bit different, but I don't think that should be the rule for this."
