Former tennis star Jelena Dovic just revealed she nearly took her own life in April ... saying she was about to jump off the balcony of a high rise balcony -- but thankfully managed to get off and seek help.
"I almost jumped off my 26th floor balcony and took my own life," Dovic said in an emotional Instagram post on Monday.
"Will never forget the day."
The Australian tennis player -- who won 6 WTA single titles -- says she's been struggling for the past six months so badly that she wanted to take her own life.
