The documentary "Indestructible" will describe the difficult life story of Jelena Dokić, a tennis player who once performed under the flag of Serbia and later Australia.
Jelena Dokic will tell her life story in a new documentary that will be shown next month, and will especially focus on the abuse she suffered from her father.
The former tennis player detailed the horrific physical and mental abuse she suffered at the hands of her father in her 2017 memoir Indestructible, and will now talk more about it in the documentary.
"My father often told me 'don't say anything, keep quiet or I'll kill you.' I didn't know how to smile until I was 33 years old. People often want you to be perfect, especially in sports, and that's impossible. Life is not perfect. I was vulnerable and I thought that was my weakness. "Now I am aware that this is my strength," said Dokić at the time.
Dokic was born in Yugoslavia, and her family moved to Australia when she was 11 years old.
While establishing herself as a talented junior, Dokic won the 1998 US Open and Roland Garros doubles title with Kim Clijsters.
Her breakthrough moment came the same year when, as a 16-year-old qualifier, she knocked out Martina Higgins in the first round at Wimbledon to reach the quarterfinals.
In 2000, she reached the semifinals of Wimbledon, which was her best Grand Slam result.
