World number three Petra Kvitova confirmed on Friday that she will team up with 29th-ranked fellow Czech Radek Stepanek for the mixed doubles event at the 2012 Olympic Games.
"I'm convinced that Radek will guide me like a more experienced doubles player," said Kvitova, who has played just three mixed doubles tournaments in her career.
"We're capable of getting a good result in London," added the 21-year-old reigning Wimbledon champion.
Stepanek, 33, won the Australian Open men's doubles title with Indian Leander Paes in Melbourne last month. In the Davis Cup he has has lost just once in ten doubles ties with men's doubles partner Tomas Berdych.
