Retired tennis star Jelena Dokic stuns in fashion photo shoot for Commonry after massive transformation
Jelena Dokic has shared a sneak preview from an upcoming modelling gig to her social media followers following her recent weight loss journey.
The 42-year-old retired athlete is currently back in the spotlight as part of Channel 9's sports team covering the upcoming French Open.
Dokic, who lives in Melbourne, took to social media on Tuesday to share a behind the scene's look at a photo shoot for the clothing brand Commonry.
'The look for today's campaign shoot with @commonry,' Dokic wrote on Instagram.
'Glam by @alexmunromakeup.'
The Aussie-owned clothing brand markets itself for offering 'premium wardrobe solutions' for women 'regardless of shape and size'.
'Wonderful how you've turned your life round,' one fan wrote underneath Dokic's post.
'You are just radiant,' wrote another.
The Croatian-born Aussie tennis star was just 16 years old when she advanced to the semifinal at Wimbledon in 2000 and reached a peak of World No. 4 in 2002.
Privately, the star allegedly suffered abuse at the hands of her father and coach Damir Dokic, which culminated in the player firing her father and rebooting her career.
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 before retiring in 2014.
In a December 2023 interview, Jelena said she has been estranged from her father for more than 10 years, and claimed he has never apologised for his alleged verbal, emotional and physical abuse.
Dokic harrowingly detailed her father's alleged abuse, which allegedly occurred regularly throughout her childhood and during her professional career, in her 2024 autobiography, Unbreakable.
The retired tennis star's glamorous new gig comes months after Dokic opened up about her weight loss journey.
In March, Dokic posted a side-by-side comparison of her before-and-after weight loss, musing that she is the 'same hardworking person' regardless of her weight.
'What is the difference between the two images?,' she wrote.
'Nothing except what you see on the outside, my BODY SIZE.
'I am the same hardworking person, respectful, generous, empathetic, compassionate, humble, kind, driven, strong, resilient, capable and loving person, woman and friend.'
