 CP Discussion Board - JELENA "BITCH" DOKIC   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Dokic, who was once ranked as high as No.4, said she was not under-estimating how difficult it would be to again reach the heights.
Dokic said it was a long time since she had spoken to her father and she was unconcerned by his contention that her career was over.
Although Dokic is free to once again represent Australia in tournaments, she will have to serve a two-year eligibility period for the Fed Cup, as she played under the flag of Serbia and Montenegro last year.

The Dokic family emigrated to Australia from Yugoslavia in 1994 and Jelena’s rise in the tennis world under the tutelage of her father was quick.
Jelena Dokic, currently ranked world number 11, conceded she was struggling with life away from her family after being eliminated in the third round of the German Open on Thursday.
Meanwhile, Dokic said the rest of the family were moving from Belgrade to “somewhere else in Serbia” because of problems with local officials.

Dokic, a Serb based in Australia, draped in the flag of Saint George, appeared to be drunk on the press balcony at Wimbledon on Thursday.
Jelena Dokic may or may not have played her last match for Australia, but her threat to play for Yugoslavia will have to be realised despite the entreaties and persuasion of her former countrywomen.
Jelena did not know about her father's threats to pull her out of the tournament even if she had defeated world No.2 Lindsay Davenport on Monday night, and the teenager plans to play both women's and mixed doubles at the tournament.

After seeing her year-end ranking fall in progression from #8 to #9 to #15 to #26 to #125, she's continued the trend in 2005 by falling as low as the #450's (currently, she's bouncing around weekly between #340-349) and earning less than $10,000 (after a career-best total of $1.2 million in 2001).
Jelena DID make the important step to move down from the main tour to play the challenger circuit, but was met with often mixed results that surely battered her already notably fragile belief in her game.
Sure, Jelena's wildly divergent results and soap operish episodes served to wrap her in a cloak of mystery and intrigue (usually to her detriment).

Jelena was born in the former Yugoslavia, but in 1994, moved to Australia, near to Sydney, and that is where she now considers herself to be a citizen.
Jelena is a powerful hitter of the ball with excellent technique, and groundstrokes, and certainly with improvement, could go on to be a major player in women's tennis.
Jelena is not a primadonna, and is a very down to earth kind of girl, who is not letting this moment of fame go to her head.

 Guardian Unlimited Sport | Tennis | Damir may disappear but Jelena suffers still
Like something emerging from the primeval swamp, Jelena Dokic's father Damir announced yesterday, apropos of nothing in particular, that he would kill himself if he found that his teenage tennis daughter was a lesbian.
Such homophobic rubbish deserves exactly the same contempt that has been poured on to Dokic's thick and paranoid head over the past three or four years, during which time he has served a six-month ban from the courtside for his public tirades, and from whom Jelena has notably distanced herself, particularly this year.
Jelena Dokic first burst on to the world stage as a 16-year-old in 1999 when she defeated Switzerland's Martina Hingis in the first round at Wimbledon and went on to the quarter-finals at her first attempt.
