PARIS — The Czech player Petra Kvitova was included in the draw for the French Open on Friday after recovering from being stabbed during a burglary at her home last December.
Kvitova, who said this week she was set to play at Wimbledon where she has twice won the title, has not played competitively since the attack, which left her with serious injuries to her left playing hand.
The 27-year-old Kvitova will be seeded 15th thanks to her protected ranking and will start off with a first-round match against the U.S. player Julia Boserup.
Kvitova, who reached the semifinals in Paris in 2012, required four hours of surgery in December after protecting herself from a man wielding a knife who had gained access to her apartment block by posing as a utilities worker.
