Jelena Dokic, the former tennis star known for her fierce battles on the court, is now fighting an even tougher battle — for her peace and happiness. After years of abuse from her father Damir, which she bravely revealed in the documentary “Unbreakable,” Jelena has finally found safety and love with her new partner, Jane Veselinov. Her heartfelt post featuring a photo with her partner quickly gathered a flood of reactions and support from fans.
The abuse she endured was brutal and long-lasting. Her father threatened to kill her, physically beat her, and psychologically tormented her from the earliest days of her career. Memories of nights spent crying, bruised, and terrified still haunt her. Jelena openly shares how she had to sleep in the players’ stands at Wimbledon because her father wouldn’t let her go to the hotel. All this happened when she was just 17 years old.
She emphasizes that her vulnerability was her strength, and now, at 33, she can finally breathe and live without fear. Her story is not just a personal tragedy but a voice for all women suffering abuse with no one to turn to. Jelena is proof that it’s possible to survive and come out stronger from the darkest moments.
In the world of sports, where perfection is expected, Jelena has shown that life is far from perfect. Her courage to speak out about abuse breaks the silence and reminds us that behind the shine and medals often lie painful stories. If you thought sports were just a game, think again — behind every victory is a battle we don’t see.
Now, Jelena has found her “calm, safe, peaceful happy place” with Jane Veselinov. Maybe it’s time for you to find your place where you can be free and happy. Or at least drop a comment and share your thoughts on this incredible story. Who knows, maybe your words will brighten someone’s day!
