“After two and a half years of investigation, the Paris Public Prosecutor’s Office definitively closed the case on 11 April 2023, considering that criminal proceedings could not be initiated, as the facts of which Ms. Sizikova was accused could not be established,” her lawyer, Frederic Belot, told Reuters.
Belot added that Sizikova would take part in this year’s French Open, which starts at Roland Garros on Sunday.
Sizikova has two doubles title to her name, the latest in Prague in July last year.
She had filed a complaint for defamation, but Belot said he had had “no news yet” from that lawsuit.
