She was injured after being attacked by a knife-wielding assailant last year.
In a social network post, the player wrote: "

"I still can't tell you when I will be back, but I can tell you that tennis is a huge motivation for me and I realised while I've been away how much I like challenges!

I thank you for staying with me through this and I hope to see you all soon, love Petra," she said.
