Former Australian Tennis Star Jelena Dokic Says She Came Close To Suicide
Australian former tennis star Jelena Dokic revealed on Monday that she came close to taking her own life just a few weeks ago. The 39-year-old, who rose to a career-high world ranking of four in 2002, wrote a lengthy and heartfelt message on Instagram along with a picture of herself in tears. Dokic, who sprang to prominence at Wimbledon in 1999 when she stunned world number one Martina Hingis in the first round, said she has been suffering with mental illness and nearly resorted to suicide on April 28.
