Kvitova to make Friday decision on participation
Petra Kvitova will decide on Friday whether or not she will play in the French Open as she recovers from a knife attack fighting off a burglar in December.
The two-time Wimbledon champion and former world number two posted a picture of herself at Prague airport where she was catching a flight to Paris ahead of the season's second Grand Slam which starts on Sunday.
"Hi guys, I have some news. I will be flying to Roland Garros this evening and taking part in a press conference on site at 2:30pm local time on Friday. Keep everything crossed for me that I will be able to play there," she wrote on Twitter.
Kvitova, 27, a semi-finalist at Roland Garros in 2012, suffered career-threatening injuries to her left hand as she fought off a knife-wielding intruder at her home in the eastern Czech town of Prostejov in December.
Kvitova revealed earlier in the week that she is "on track" to play Wimbledon this year.
