Jelena Dokic (Serbian: Jelena Dokic / ?????? ?????; pronounced [j??l?na dokit??]; born in Osijek on 12 April 1983) is an Australian tennis coach, commentator, writer, and former professional tennis player.
Her highest ranking as a tennis player was world No.
4 in August 2002.
She won WTA Tour events on all surfaces during her career. In the 1999 Wimbledon Championships the 16-year-old Dokic achieved one of the biggest upsets in tennis history, beating Martina Hingis 6–2, 6–0.
This remains the only time the women's world No.
1 has ever lost to a qualifier at Wimbledon.
Dokic would go on to reach the quarterfinals of that competition, only her second Grand Slam. Dokic rapidly ascended through the world rankings after her Wimbledon breakthrough, but her time in the world elite was beset by off-court struggles.
Her relationship with her outspoken father and coach Damir, on whose advice she switched allegiance to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in 2000, was the subject of much media speculation.
She switched back to Australia in 2005, and would later accuse her father of physical and mental abuse in her 2017 autobiography. She made a serious return to tennis in 2008 and finished 2009 back in the world top 100, but thereafter struggled badly with form and injuries, and ceased playing professionally in 2014.
