Jelena Dokic, who recently gained some weight, is an Australian tennis coach, commentator, writer, and former professional tennis player.
In August 2002, Jelena Dokic reached the world No. 4 ranking as a tennis player. Throughout her career, she won WTA Tour events on all surfaces.
Dokic, then 16, upset Martina Hingis 6–2, 6–0 at Wimbledon in 1999. This is the only time in Wimbledon history that the women’s world number one has been defeated by a qualifier.
Dokic went on to reach the quarterfinals of her second Grand Slam.

Jelena Dokic recently gained weight and has been a hot topic on social media as a result of her weight gain.
The former tennis pro, age 39, has pleaded for people to leave her alone after she, like many others, gained weight during Melbourne’s lockdown.
Dokic posted a side-by-side comparison of her appearance before and after COVID to Instagram, along with a lengthy caption telling trolls to “GET OVER IT.”
However, Dokic, who has since retired from tennis and now works as a commentator for Channel Nine, continues to struggle with her weight and is constantly mocked online.
When she retired from tennis in 2014, she said she felt “lost,” and her weight ballooned as a result of emotional eating and a lack of structure.
Dokic previously revealed that after being forced to retire due to an injury in 2014, she lived on an unhealthy diet of burgers, fries, and sugary foods.
Has Jelena Dokic Put Back LBS?
Jelena Dokic has put back some pounds and is enraged by body-shaming trolls.
In 2018, the former World No.4 wowed fans by dropping from 120kg to 68kg, the same weight she used to play at during her professional career.
She revealed in January 2020 that she was the ‘lightest’ she’d been in a decade.
Determined to change her life, she lost 53 kilograms in 18 months after starting a Jenny Craig weight loss program, bringing the tennis star to her lowest weight in ten years.
To lose weight, Dokic said she hits tennis balls for up to two hours most days, in addition to running and walking. She is thinking about returning to tennis.
The publication of her autobiography, in which Dokic revealed the trauma she suffered at the hands of her father and her subsequent battles with depression, proved to be a cathartic experience and a catalyst for her losing weight.
‘I really don’t understand why people feel the need to comment on someone’s physical appearance, particularly when it comes to women,’ Jelena said.
How Much Does Jelena Dokic Weigh Now?
According to her appearance, Jelena Dokic weighs between 70 and 75 kg.

Dokic stated that while she has the ‘best supporters in the world who send her ‘thousands of messages of support,’ the cruel remarks about her weight have left her distraught.
