Former world No.4 Jelena Dokic, winner of six WTA titles and to this day the only qualifier who has defeated a women’s world No.1 at Wimbledon, with a victory over Martina Hingis in 1999, has been going through an extremely tough period, struggling with weight and thyroid problems, but now she’s finally on the right track, exuding positivity and sharing it with her Instagram followers.

The 2000 Wimbledon semifinalist Dokic, remembered as a beautiful blond, courageously shared the photo from the worst phase of her life, when she weighed 120 kilos and thought that there was no escape from the downfall.
