JELENA Dokic's recovery from the back injury that forced her French Open retirement will keep her off the practice court until the end of the week, but is unlikely to thwart the Australian's plans to contest Wimbledon lead-up tournaments at Birmingham and Eastbourne this month.

Dokic's agent, Lawrence Frankopan, said the world No. 80 expected to be able to play in both WTA grasscourt events as scheduled, having been cleared of permanent lower-back damage by an MRI scan after her second-round mishap against fourth seed Elena Dementieva in Paris.

A Wimbledon semi-finalist in 2000, Dokic will be returning to the All England Club for the first time since 2004. Her most recent qualifying attempt, at Roehampton in 2006, produced a first-round loss to Alexandra Stevenson.

Dokic's win-loss record of 17-6 at Wimbledon is her best at a grand slam, despite the 26-year-old also reaching the quarter-finals at Roland Garros and, this year, in Melbourne.
