伊莲娜·多克奇是一名网球运动员，澳大利亚人，出生于1983年。

多克奇也是一位网坛颇具传奇色彩的少女。在她短暂的职业生涯中，可谓大起大落。15岁出道时，她便与菲利普西斯合作，夺得霍普曼杯混双冠军，此后，初出茅庐的多克奇居然在温网第三轮，直落两盘挑落当时排名世界第一的辛吉斯，在第四轮中，也只是以1-2惜败给皮尔斯而已。17岁前的多克奇堪称年轻一代女网选手中的第一高手，没想到，昙花一现的多克奇接下来的成绩大为倒退。她不仅连续在三项职业赛事中，首轮遭淘汰，而且，在2000年的澳网中，本土作战的多克奇又在首轮输给名不见经传的匈牙利选手。进入2002年后，多克奇的成绩开始回升，排名始终保持在前10名的行列。

但是在04年开始她控制欲极强的父亲在场内外种种行为给她带来了很大的压力，多克奇星光逐渐暗淡。她也放弃澳大利亚国籍，随家人迁回塞尔维亚。

在2004到05年期间，多克奇退出了大部分的巡回赛，偶然出战也多在前两轮出局。在这样的情况下，多克奇患上严重的抑郁症，体重也直线上升。最终脱离父亲控制的多克奇再次回到澳大利亚，为了自己的职业网球生涯做最后一次拼搏。在08年年末她在澳大利亚外卡赛中一路过关斩将获得了宝贵的澳网外卡，在09年的澳网比赛中她发挥出色一路打进8强，最终不敌最后的亚军萨芬娜而遭到淘汰。

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.

Jelena was a prodigious talent, heralded as Australia's greatest tennis hope since Evonne Goolagong. She had exceptional skills, a steely nerve and an extraordinary ability to fight on the court. Off it she endured huge challenges; being an 'outsider' in her new country, poverty and racism. Still she starred on the tennis court. By 18, she was in the world's top 10. By 19, she was No. 4. The world was charmed by her and her story - a refugee whose family had made Australia home when she was eleven years old.

Jelena has not told a soul her incredible, explosive story in full - until now.

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, and her heart-breaking fall from the top. Her gutsy honesty will leave you in awe. Her fight back from darkness will uplift you. Most of all, Jelena's will to survive will inspire you.
