PARIS (Reuters) - Czech Petra Kvitova said it was a "dream come true" to be included in the French Open draw on Friday having recovered from being stabbed during a burglary at her home in December.

Kvitova, who said this week she will be fit to compete 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.
