Listen "Jelena Dokic: The Fighter"
Episode Synopsis
Jelena Dokic’s story, in life and in tennis, can be described in one word — fighter. Jelena’s family struggles and issues with her father are well-documented, but now she's opened up on how that really affected her, both on and off the court. Jelena says she didn’t have her own identity, she was lost, but it was thanks to tennis and the Australian Open she was able to come back to life. Through her strength and spreading her story she continues to inspire people in and out of tennis to never give up.The Moment:Until 2009 Jelena Dokic had only won two matches at the Australian Open, and they were more than a decade earlier. Not only had she been struggling on court, she was battling some pretty tough demons off of it. Her run at the 2009 Australian Open was not only unexpected, but would send her into sporting folklore as an Aussie underdog who would never give up.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
