Getting To Know....Jelena Dokic


Listen Later

Former world #4, Jelena Dokic seemingly had it all when she made a splash at the 1999 Wimbledon Championships by defeating then world #1, Martina Hingis. After a swift climb up the WTA rankings, she would experience almost a decade long struggle with depression that would almost see her fully out of the tennis spotlight. In 2009, she would make a historic leap back into the world's elite by making a surprising run to the quarterfinals of her hometown Grand Slam, the Australian Open. What fans did not fully understand at the time, was that Jelena was being mentally and physically abused by the person that had been responsible for helping to achieve her tennis dreams...her father. Join this vulnerable round table as Jelena, along with one of her biggest fans, takes us through candid moments from her best-selling memoir, "Unbreakable." We also get to hear Jelena's take on the 2020 tennis season, what her next step in tennis will be and we play a few fun games with host, Jon Guerrica that spotlight Jelena's amazing achievements. Enjoy as you learn what fun announcement Jelena has in store for her fans, it's pretty FANtastic.
