Petra Kvitova 'on track' to play at Wimbledon

Petra Kvitova is set to feature at this year's Wimbledon, less than seven months after she was stabbed by an intruder in her home, according to her team.

The 2011 and 2014 Wimbledon champion has made rapid progress with her recovery and could even be ready to play in the French Open, her publicity manager Katie Spellman told Reuters.

Kvitova, 26, needed four hours of surgery to repair damage to her left, playing, hand after the December attack at her home in the Czech city of Prostejov.

"She is on track for Wimbledon," Spellman said. "She will make a last minute decision this week about Roland Garros."

Kvitova is set to be included on the official entry list for this year's Championships, which will be released on Wednesday.

"The AELTC is always pleased to welcome former champions back to Wimbledon, and would be delighted if Petra Kvitova is able to compete in The Championships this year," Wimbledon said in a statement to Reuters.

"We wish her well with her ongoing preparations to return to competition."

Earlier this month, Kvitova posted a photo of herself practising in Monte Carlo.
