Tennis star Jelena Dokic shares images of domestic abuse she suffered at hands of father

Australian tennis star Jelena Dokic has shared images of the domestic abuse she suffered at the hands of father after losing a match.

The former junior No.1 exploded onto the senior tennis scene by beating Martina Hingis on her way to the quarter-finals at Wimbledon in 1999 at the tender age of 16. After being tipped to be the next big star, the Australian had a career-high of world No.4 and won six WTA titles, but never got the Grand Slam success she desired.

She eventually retired in 2014, having struggled for form and fitness and is now a tennis coach and commentator.
