When Jelena Dokic stunned Martina Hingis in the first round of Wimbledon 1999, the Australian qualifier was catapulted into global stardom. The win came at a tournament where she won 20 of her first 24 matches, and she ultimately peaked at world No.4 in one of the strongest eras the women’s game has seen. Dokic sat down with Matt and Viv to relive those highs, recounting her upset of the Swiss superstar in vivid detail, describing what it was like to face many WTA icons, and how her run to the medal rounds of Sydney 2000 remains one of her proudest achievements.
