Former WTA world No.4 Jelena Dokic has broken up with Tin Bikic, her partner of 18 and a half years. The retired Australian tennis player feels traumatized and lost after ending the relationship with the person that has been by her side throughout her adult life.
The 38-year-old Dokic has experienced a lot of hardships in her life. Besides her rocky relationship with her father Damir Dokic and her fleeing from war in Yugoslavia during childhood, in recent years Dokic has suffered from depression, anxiety, stress, and suicidal thoughts.
Food was her coping mechanism, which resulted in substantial weight gain.
