Unbreakable

Product Description

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, aged eighteen she was in the women's top 10 and the world was charmed by her and her story. But she carried a terrible secret. From the moment she'd struck a tennis ball at age six, her father had hit her. And the bigger her tennis star grew, the more he lost his mind - privately and very publicly.
