Jelena Dokic shows off slimmed down figure while commentating marathon French Open men's final
Jelena Dokic has showed off her stunning new figure while commentating the French Open men's final and teased an upcoming appearance at Wimbledon.
Dokic, 42, was recently back in front of the cameras as part of Channel Nine's sports team covering the French Open.
On Monday, Dokic shared several behind-the-scenes snaps while commentating the marathon French Open men's final between Italy's Jannik Sinner and Spain's Carlos Alcaraz.
Alcaraz ultimately defeated Sinner in a five-set epic which lasted five hours and 29 minutes, making it the longest final in Roland Garros history.
Dokic, who commentated the match for Nine alongside Todd Woodbridge, stunned in a chic green two-piece suit with snazzy gold buttons.
'Looking beautiful as always Jelena. I really enjoyed your commentary of the French Open,' one fan wrote.
'Just beautiful Jelena,' another fan said.
'You are beautiful inside and out, and always have been.'
The Aussie tennis star reached a peak of World No. 4 during her career, including a quarter final appearance at the French Open in 2002.
In 2009, Dokic enjoyed an unforgettable run at the Australian Open after entering the draw as a wildcard and ultimately advancing all the way to the quarter finals.
Later this month, Dokic will commentate on the iconic Wimbledon tennis tournament, the same event where she reached the semi final in 2000 at just 16 years old.
'Can't wait for @wimbledon in 3 weeks,' Dokic wrote via Instagram.
Dokic's commentating gig comes weeks after the shock death of her father and former coach Damir Dokic, who Jelena accused of physical, emotional and financial abuse in her memoir Unbreakable.
"My father passed away in the late hours on 16.05.2025," Jelena wrote on Instagram last month.
"As you know my relationship with my father has been difficult and painful with a lot of history.
"Despite everything and no matter how hard, difficult and in the last 10 years even non existent our relationship and communication was, it is never easy losing a parent and a father even one you are estranged from.
"The loss of an estranged parent comes with a difficult and complicated grief."

Dua Lipa confirms engagement to Callum Turner
Dua Lipa and Callum Turner are engaged. The Levitating singer's fans spotted she was wearing a diamond ring on her wedding finger in an Instagram post on Christmas Eve (24.12.24), and she's now confirmed the 35-year-old actor popped the question with a custom piece of jewellery he had made with the advice of her sister Rina and her best friends. Dua told the new issue of Britain's Vogue magazine: "Yeah, we're engaged. It's very exciting." Of her ring, she added: 'I'm obsessed with it. It's so me. It's nice to know the person that you're going to spend the rest of your life with knows you very well.' However, the couple - who began dating in January 2024 - have yet to set a wedding date because of their busy work schedules. Dua, 29, said: 'I want to finish my tour, Callum's shooting, so we're just enjoying this period. "I've never been someone who's really thought about a wedding, or dreamt about what kind of bride I would be. "All of a sudden I'm like: 'Oh, what would I wear?'' Although Dua has seen people get engaged in the past, she had "never really understood the weight of it' but now she thinks committing to another person is "special". She said: 'This decision to grow old together, to see a life and just, I don't know, be best friends forever – it's a really special feeling.' The Dance the Night Away hitmaker is keen to have a family of her own but admitted she doesn't know when would be a "good time" because of the demands of her pop career. She said: "I'd love to have kids one day. But it's like the constant question of when would there ever be a good time – how it would fit in with my job and how it would work if I went on tour, and how much time out I'd have to take. "I think it's just one of those things that's going to happen when it happens. I love kids, but I think there's so much more to raising a child than just loving children.' Dua and Callum had "many Sliding Doors moments", where they were in the same place at the same time without realising, before being introduced to one another at the River Cafe in London. A year later, she was having dinner in Los Angeles with her friend Mustafa the Poet when "all of a sudden" Callum appeared. She thought: 'Oh, it's that really hot guy from The River Cafe.' During their conversation, the pair realised they both "just happened to be reading" Hernan Diaz's novel Trust. Asked if she feels they were destined to be together, she replied: 'One thousand per cent.'

Will Smith rocked London with a surprise street performance
Will Smith electrified London with a surprise street performance on Wednesday (11.06.25) evening. Crowds flocked to the impromptu show outside of the city's King's Cross Station, where the 56-year-old star teamed up with DJ AG for a live rendition of his and Jazzy Jeff's hit Summertime - which was released in 1991 under Will's Fresh Prince alias - and the theme from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Those lucky enough to catch a glimpse of Will's surprise set shared their videos on social media, delighting even more fans. One person said on Instagram: "Legendary moment." A TikTok user wrote: "This is so nice to see, DJ AG you've come a LONG WAY!! Big up Will Smith and DJ AG every time." Another person on the video-based platform penned: "Wow, Will Smith this is incredible. This is amazing. I'm so jealous." Special guest Rita Ora suddenly rocked up and displayed some dance moves as Will and DJ AG got the crowd dancing and singing. And after Will was whisked away in a car, Rita performed some of her hit tracks, including Hot Right Now and R.I.P. Singer Jamelia hyped up the vast crowds before Will's surprise performance at 6pm. She sang her much-loved track Superstar, as well as her popular song Thank You. Will's appearance comes as he prepared to reunite with DJ Jazzy Jeff to play at Capital's Summertime Ball with Barclaycard at Wembley Stadium on Sunday (15.06.25). The star never did headline shows when he was part of hip-hop duo DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince, who were responsible for creating hits including Boom! Shake the Room and Summertime. Will recently released his first full-length album in 20 years, Based on a True Story, and he is thrilled to be going on a global tour to support his new LP, as well as treat audiences with nostalgic hits. Appearing on the Broken Record Podcast, the star said: "This will be the first time ever that we put together a tour, and I get to headline a world tour. "I have my 90 minutes, I had never been on stage for 90 minutes before. "So I did two shows in San Diego a couple of months ago, it was wild. "The world is so desperate for nostalgia right now. "The world wants that so bad, and it's like people [are] just yearning for, you know, a time when things were a little bit easier."

Kyle Chalmers won again. But this time it was different
At trials in 2019, Chalmers clocked 47.35 seconds. At the 2021 trials, the time to get him on the team was 47.59 seconds. He was slower at trials in 2023, but less than two months later went on to win a maiden individual long-course 100m freestyle gold medal in Fukuoka. He was slower at trials in 2024 but picked up a silver medal at the Paris Olympics. Only an astounding world record from Pan Zhanle stood in the way of more Chalmers Olympic glory. Chalmers will head into the upcoming world championships, starting July 27, as a medal contender in the two-lap dash. Pan hasn't come close to replicating his stunning world record of 47.4 seconds, so is an unknown quantity. American Jack Alexy, who finished second to Chalmers in Fukuoka two years ago, clocked a sharp heat time of 46.99 at the USA trials recently. When Chalmers came from nowhere to swim a 47.27 in Norway in April, it was a sign he was really tracking in the right direction. Chalmers is a racer. He rarely gets solid competition in Australia and isn't pushed to his limit. It's why he could be flying under the radar for another world title. After getting engaged last year and with a baby on the way, Chalmers appears happier than ever as he continues his quest to make it to the LA 2028 Olympics. Loading Chalmers knocked off Flynn Southam by 0.4 seconds on Thursday night. 'It's just trusting what I've been doing in training and listening to what my coaches are telling me to do,' Chalmers said on Nine. 'Everything we've been doing is to swim a personal best time. And that was very close tonight.' Meanwhile, the other impressive swim of the night came from Lani Pallister, who took down Ariarne Titmus' Australian record in the 800m freestyle.
