Jelena Dokic
About this listen
This is a story of Jelena Dokic's survival. How she survived as a refugee twice. How she survived on the tennis court to become world number four. But, most importantly, how she survived her father, Damir Dokic, the tennis dad from hell.
From war-torn Yugoslavia to Sydney to Wimbledon, she narrates her hellish ascent to becoming one of the best tennis players in the women’s game, the abuse she endured at the hands of her father and her heartbreaking fall from the top. Jelena never told anyone the full truth of what she went through until now, and her unbreakable spirit will inspire you.

However, I do wish the narrator had done some research and learned how to pronounce the names of a whole stack of tennis people! Those mispronunciations took me out a bit. However the dramatic and awful things Dokic went through made this a gripping listen.
Deeply disturbing but gripping

It's a miracle she's even alive though scars will always remain.
This is pretty hard to listen to at times and you just want it to stop and reach out to help but feel so
helpless and so sad for her and are constantly hoping for some upturn in either her career or her childhood.
What a great book though!
I read sharapovas book before this and boy they couldn't have been more different.
