Petra Kvitova says she has already won her "biggest fight" by returning to action at the French Open following a knife attack at her home in December.
The Czech, 27, was stabbed by an intruder and suffered a career-threatening hand injury.
But the two-time Wimbledon champion was in Paris on Friday as her place in the first-round draw was confirmed.
"I knew this day would come. I'm really happy that I'm here, the dream comes true," said Kvitova.
"I'm here in the draw and I'm here playing tennis again. It was a difficult time for me, of course.
