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 No. 4. 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 heart-breaking 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.©2017 Jelena Dokic (P)2018 W.F. Howes Ltd Sports Emotionally Gripping

I am a huge tennis fan but realised once the stories came out that there was more to Dokic’s story than the stone-faced fierce young player I remember. It is very disturbing and disappointing no one in tennis could recognise the abuse she was suffering and help.
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.

A tennis player who came across on tv as a spoilt brat. This statement couldn't be further from the truth. This is the compelling story of a talented tennis player and her struggle as a refugee, emotional and physical abuse, and the tennis world. A great read.

This is an honest representation of what Jelena went through from an early age into her twenties regarding the abuse she endured both mentally and physically at the hands of her dad.
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.

I remember watching Jelena on tv in the uk in her first Wimbledon aged 16. Wimbledon was the only time tennis was on in our house so I wasn’t aware of her career. I remember rooting for her because she was a similar age to me and watching all her matches and being disappointed when she was knocked out. I also thought here is a star for the future. But she seemed to disappear from the sport. Now having listened to this book I know why and what hell she was actually living. It makes her performance is even more astonishing and she had determination and courage to keep going sometimes without support. The book is difficult to listen to at times, and I was just willing for a happy ending or someone to step in and protect her. I’m looking forward to listening to her next book to see how she managed to heal from the hell she was put through.
