Former world number six Carla Suarez Navarro has confirmed her participation at the French Open, which starts on Sunday, a month after she said she had been cured of cancer.
The 32-year-old Spaniard said in September that she was diagnosed with early-stage Hodgkin's lymphoma and would need to go through six months of chemotherapy."It makes me tremendously excited to be able to participate in Roland Garros," she said on the website of the Spanish tennis federation. "I am looking forward to jumping on to the court and feeling again how special this tournament has always been for me."
The two-time French Open quarter-finalist, known for one of the best backhands in the women's circuit, had planned to compete at last year's U.S. Open but withdrew a week before the Grand Slam was to begin.
