Tennis Federation
what happened to jelena dokic? why has she had a sad life, what about her dad? what about tennis fed?
she just said sorry to australian tennis federation? whats the thing about her dad and family? why was she depressed?
i really wanna know? why do people pity her?
She was professional at about 15. Her father was a nutter and clearly a control freak.
Her father got angry at Tennis Australia for apparently ‘rigging’ the draw so she played the defending champ in the first round. So he dragged the whole family back to Serbia, and she played for Serbia for a bit. Probably another Tennis Australia problem there.
She backed her father – as a child does. But eventually she realised he was causing her huge problems. She stopped speaking to him & as a result her brother and mother too.
She suffered depression for several years as a reuslt of being astranged from her family and her life being totally buggered by her fathers antics. Since she has struggeled to make her come back.
I think she is a very good example of how parents shouldn’t be allowed to coach thier kids. It’s too much of a power & control situation, and can lead to young lives being ruined.
But good on her for finally coming back, doing so well, and to have the courage to say sorry for somethings which I think no reasonable person would agree were her fault.
She is a very impressive young lady.
Well done Jenena!
