KVITOVA GETTING BACK ON TRACK

PETRA KVITOVA plans to make up for lost time after a knife attack which could have ended her career.

The double Wimbledon champ lost on Wednesday to 95th-ranked American Madison Brengle.

But Kvitova (above) needed surgery on damaged tendons in her left hand after being stabbed by an intruder in her home in the Czech Republic in December.

She said: “I’m home sooner than I wanted to be, but I reached my goal – to play tennis again, to play tennis at Wimbledon and to compete in the sport I love. The last six months were difficult but now I can push restart.”
