Petra Kvitova 'on track' for Wimbledon return after stabbing

Petra Kvitova is “on track” to make a return to Wimbledon after suffering a career-threatening hand injury from a knife attack.

The 26-year-old, who has been crowned Wimbledon champion twice, looks to feature at the All England Club less than seven months after the attack at her home.

The Czech was stabbed on 20 December by an intruder in her apartment in Prostejov in the Czech Republic.

Surgeons spent almost four hours repairing nerves and tendons in her left hand – her playing hand – following the attack.

It is possible she may return at the French Open, which starts next week.

Wimbledon - the third Grand Slam of the season - starts on Monday, 3 July.
