Wimbledon champion and world number two Petra Kvitova has revealed that she will play in next month's Sydney International.
The 21-year-old Czech is the third reigning Grand Slam title-holder to confirm that she will appear after French Open winner Li Na and US Open champion Sam Stosur also announced their intentions.
"I have had some great results in Australia over the years, winning in Hobart and Brisbane, so hopefully 2012 will be my year to win the title in Sydney," said Kvitova.
Kvitova, who also won the WTA Championships, will appear in Sydney for the first time.
