Police shelve Kvitová investigation

Police say they have shelved the investigation into an attack on tennis star Petra Kvitová in December of last year due to lack of evidence. Although the Prostějov tennis club offered a reward of $3,850 for information leading to the arrest of the attacker and the police received several hundred tips from the public, none of them helped move the investigation forward.

Kvitová was attacked in her home in Prostějov last December, by an unknown assailant who entered her apartment under the guise of checking a utility meter. She sustained severe injuries to her left hand as she fought for her life. After undergoing surgery and rehabilitation she made her comeback at the French Open this year.
