Former World #4 Jelena Dokic

Jelena Dokic has lived an incredible life in tennis. After fleeing her native Croatia due to the Balkan conflict and blessed with prodigious talent, she immigrated to Australia, and in 1999 as a 16 year old, logged one of the greatest upsets in Wimbledon history, beating Martina Hingis in the first round. She rocketed onto the tennis scene as a result but her entire career was marred by her omnipresent and out of control father, Damir. In 2018 she released her autobiography UNBREAKABLE, and chronicled years of physical and mental abuse at the hands of her father. She is now a motivational speaker and broadcaster for Australia's Channel 9 tennis coverage. Recorded 10/14 Released 10/26 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
