Jelena Dokic attempted suicide: “I just wanted the pain and the suffering to stop.”

Months after ending her 19-year-relationship with Tin Bikic, Jelena Dokic almost jumped off her 26th-floor balcony. As a result of immense suffering she’d been going through, the tennis star tried to commit suicide on April 28th in Melbourne. When she thinks about that day, everything seems blurry and dark.

The former world No.4 has always been open about her depression, anxiety, stress and suicidal thoughts. The strict COVID-19 lockdowns in Australia only worsened her condition and breaking up with the person she had spent her entire adult life with left her traumatized and lost.
