Sinner eyes off AO three-peat | 01:55Jelena Dokic’s heartbreaking story of resilience has once again left Australia ns in disbelief after her documentary premiered on Wednesday night.
In the documentary, which aired on Channel 9, Dokic recounts a horrific incident when she was knocked unconscious when her father Damir kicked her in the head following a loss. Ray Gatt added: “My goodness. The Jelena Dokic story is horrific. What she had to go through because of her abusive father. Damir Dokic is/was a monster.”
She was booed off Rod Laver Arena at the 2001 Australian Open after losing to Lindsay Davenport, after announcing plans to turn her back on Australia and represent Yugoslavia.
